Shit impossible game that ruined odachi
Shit too easy game where everything is OP
I really like this game and the boob slider.
Alright, my first run was a cestus character, then a splitstaff omyou, finally I did a ninja 1kat full ninja tools.Whats next for me?Something samurai Im thinking.

>watching FightinCowboy's Let's Play of Nioh 3>he keeps struggling on fights I had one-and-done>even though he's doing a heavy onmyo buildI thought he was supposed to be pretty good at these games.
>>559478734His Elden Ring playthrough was painful, though mostly because he misses and misunderstands stuff.Tell you what though, there isnt enough people doing full playthoughs that I like to watch.I need one to listen to while I grind in Nioh.
>>559478734He rarely burst counters and instead dodges, and he button mashes rather than try to learn movesets.
I could feel odachi was ruined in the demo so I switched to spear, and later 2kat.On ninja I play jetpack (nin1kat), and toonf.
>>559478934>misses stuffThe amount of times he just blithely run past a pickup that's sitting RIGHT THERE and I know it's like a ninja/samurai lock or a handbook or something is just infuriating
>>559479147And he fucking pronounces "onmyo" as OH-myo. Grinds my fucking gears every time
>>559478734From what little I've seen he's better at the itemization/build-crafting side than outright skill.Also I realized the best way to fix summoning seals. Instead of making them turbo-ass soul cores that fondle balls in nigh every conceivable way, they should've been this game's answer to spirit ashes. Summons that stick around and fight alongside you. Would be busted because these games aren't handled for extra allied characters but dammit it'd be a neat way to take the mechanic in a new direction (for Nioh) that actually plays into it (as shogun you can actually be commander).>rules1x per soul corecan only have one out at a timecan be targeted downmaybe also made simpler (Hiruko as extreme example has 5 different forms he can take, soul core could just lock it to final phase)Can setup 2 but onmyo is now on a per-form basis
>>559480448But you can already summon the blue guys, kinda would be filling the same niche.
>>559472163Black Myth is such a mediocre game. Some guy will think it's Souls and complain that it plays more like a non-Souls game. But my problem is that it's derivative and lacking where other games excel.>traversalgarbage boss rush level design. You control a monkey and there's barely any platforming, even the cloud is lame.>combatThe worst part of the game and why I posted in the Nioh thread. It's clearly Nioh and a little bit Sekiro. You have yokai transformations and stances. But there's no pulse, meaning the game is casual (there's a cooldown per stance but it doesn't work like pulse), yokai transformations in this one lack depth and it's better to use the afterimage thing in the game (best part of the game's combat), and there are other bigger problems like lack of stagger, poor enemy design, and poor enemy placement. (lacks ambushes and interesting enemy behavior).>Wo Long is much better and should have been more popularWo Long is still the second (?) best-selling game in the series and still doesn't match Black Myth sales. And although Wo Long's base is controversial, it's a much better game in every metric compared to Black Myth. The fact that Nioh is still somewhat niche and people flock to every mediocre overhyped mess bothers me more than anything.
>>559480838I can distil your entire post, whichbis correct, into a single sentence: it's called wukong. It's obviously going to be shit.
>>559481068Every time the Chinese make a game about a beloved cultural figure it's going to be full on pandering, can't ever be difficult because that would make the figure look bad, etc. They're trapped by their own obsession with image.
>>559480796The thing is that the blue boys are either other players (and subject to their AI) or restricted to specific locations. Having a yokai toolbox lets you have one at any time and let you tailor it towards the encounter/what offsets your playstyle (and also be a mechanic loners like yours truly would actually interact with, no offense to the visitors). There's even a possibility of the more support options Onmyo had could make a return because you have a yokai (maybe mastery skill lets you have both yokais out at the same time) you can try to pass on buffs/healing towards.In theory this could allow TN to be more wild with encounters too on the assumption you will have 1-2 yokais to summon but I suspect part of why the encounters might've been so mild is some technical limitations (before I did setting tinkering, having too many enemies did cause game stuttering).
The fact is, there's no such thing as a souls-like. What you're thinking of is actually a Gaiden-like. Most of souls is ripped off from Ninja Gaiden.Dark Souls is a ripoff that was only perceived as "harder" because the movement system is vastly shittier.NIOH and it's sequels are the true evolution of the game that started it all: Ninja Gaiden.Oh, and who made Ninja Gaiden?TEAM NINJAAnd who makes Nioh?TEAM NINJAWorld of Warcraft is a souls-like according to /v/. Or more accurately, demon souls is a WoW-like.>rest mechanic>enemies drop currency>stamina bar>summoning players>talent tree stat-point spending>see where other players died>fantasy setting>bosses>oversized weapons and medieval armor>epic music>potions and flasks>magic/pyromancy>environmental storytelling>emotes>3rd personNow you'll say "b-but the gameplay is different"EXACTLY, NIOH IS ITS OWN THING
>>559481678Um, actually Souls ripped off Monster Hunter, which in turn was a Phantasy Star Online ripoff.Therefore Nioh is a PSOlike
tldr
>>559481773DS takes a lot from itself (KF), with a little bit of Zelda (the standard for Japanese third-person games), in the end OOT is the basis for every Japanese action game. Almost like how Western games draw from TR96.
Now that we can style our samurai with ninja gear I just want them to fix odachi.And then let us style our sam2kat with nin2kat.And then make all the nonboss yokai more aggressive and their horns way harder to break. And make human bosses stop fucking blocking.And then double the game's content.Then I reckon it'll be about as good as Nioh 2.
>>559482105Odachi is the only good weapon, they need to nerf all the other overpowered weapons to match it.
Genuinely wtf is /v/ smoking. Heian and bakamatsu have been peak, both in design and the actual level structure. There is actually a healthy amount of enemy variety and no fighting gakis and jailers the most doesn't mean there isn't. Every game in existence has common enemies out the ass
>>559482230Right.
>>559482268Bakumatsu is ugly and way too empty, also I didn't find it any harder than the other 2 areas...
>>559482105>And make human bosses stop fucking blocking.Jesus fucking christ, this. Especially the ones with big weapons, they do fucking nothing but turtle all day and regain ki faster than you can shit on it with paralysis tonfas.
>>559482397I like it, completely ruined cities with purple skies. And so far it's been a maze of hallways with traps everywhere which I love about niohs level design
>>559482268warring states is easily the worst area
>>559482914>And so far it's been a maze of hallways with traps everywherehave you not gotten past the pleasure district part or something? most of the area is just open worldish slop
NG+ item level scales, right? So I don't have to run around early game getting level 10 greens?
>>559483052they do but most of the stuff you find early is trashyou basically want to beeline it to bakumatsu
open field and its consequences have been a disaster for the nioh franchise
>>559483686for gaming*
>>559483018I only just barely fought the formidable foe in the 2nd section. That ones been mostly straight forward despite having 2 ways through but still great
>>559478734You thought wrong. Just look at his Nightreign runs, for fuck's sake.
I can't get over how my character looks in cutscenes
>>559482105>Then I reckon it'll be about as good as Nioh 2.You have abysmal standards if that's all it takes for you to reach such point. Also, in what reality do human enemies block more in 3 than in 2?
How much nightly service do you think a shogun receives? This is why Kunimatsu wants to be shogun no?
>>559486726I don't know if they do or not, I just know that I can't fucking do anything about it in 3 except under very specific circumstances that I can't always arrange, especially in multiplayer.I greentexted a story a few days ago where I was so disgusted by it that I alt+f4'd out of a multiplayer Best of Five.Well, I had a guy get bored and alt+f4 out of a White Flag after about a minute of friutlessly bashing the onmyo bitche's guard the day after, so other people are noticing and sick of it too.
I am getting used to the stance based combat, but when do I get to go to Japan?
>>559487116Takechiyo is canonically gay.
>>559491501>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokugawa_Iemitsu>From an early age Iemitsu practiced the shūdō tradition. However, in 1620, he had a falling out with his homosexual lover, Sakabe Gozaemon, a childhood friend and retainer, aged twenty-one, and murdered him as they shared a bathtub.
>>559492273Bath episodes in my Chinese cartoons never got this intense.
Really miss twilight missions...
>3 patches in>the input is still dogshithttps://old.reddit.com/r/Nioh/comments/1rj9yaw/nioh_3_has_input_registry_issues_that_i_hope_gets/unironically want to kms when this shit happens in the middle of the fight because it just won't go away until the game stabilizes its FPS somehow
>>559494782yeah it's really bad
>>559494782Sometimes the dodge button doesnt go off if I'm holding block, I always assumed it was skill issue, it this unintended?
>>559497938it works fine in nioh 1 and 2
>>559497938Half the controls don't reliably work while holding block, it's most certainly not intended.
>>559469357>I noticed you dont use SotC Pierce. I dropped it as well. Why do you not use it? as a deflect enjoyer i don't find any added benefit of getting behind the enemyas for heavenly flow i use that quite a lot against human enemies, it's one of the easier parries to get off, sometimes if i feel like styling on enemies i'll do a punish the proud or the shrike as well, but those have iffier timings
What's so special about this particular Jailer?
>>559497938Holding block and dodging is 100% intended. You have to do it after getting hit anyway because that's how you get out of block stun. It's always been how it worked in previous games.The problem is that when you walk into some random areas and the FPS drops, your game will start dropping your inputs like crazy. And it's not like the previous games where you drop input once and that's it, here when you get input drop it could be 10s+ up of gameplay where some buttons just simply don't work.
>>559499568He supervises the glory-farmers.
>>559494782>>559499772I knew it was dropping inputs but now I understand why sometimes it feels like the game just goes on autopilot.
I'm gonna point out that aside from the random input drop, the game also has very noticeable input delay compared to nioh 1/2.The easiest way to see this is to do a charged attack (like true and through). In the previous games, your character will charge it up immediately. Here your character will attempt a strong attack, then after 0.2s start to charge it up. The character will do a sort of shuffle during this transition.This is also why stuff like Moonlit Snow Redux is just very bad now, since the input is a charge motion and it lost most of its damage while the speed increase is negligible given that you have to do with the extra lag.
>>559501198I have controls issues but they are nothing like that, I use kbm and there are blatant bugs in the mask, I get the wrong martial art coming out pretty frequently and multiple inputs result in dropped inputs at least half the time. Nothing fps related.It's funny that I've seen people complain about all kinds of control related issues for Nioh 3 and nobody has the same trouble but everyone agrees it's shit.Just what the fuck did TN manage to do to ruin a system they ought to have just copypasted from their previous games?
>>559502909The input system definitely needed to be changed because they allowed most attacks to cancel into one another fluidly now, and there's also the weird ass "cancel everything into a grapple" thing. The other issue is probably due to migration to UE5.Oh and I definitely should point out the quickdraw bug, which I've confirmed with some other people. Basically quickdraw motion will just cancel itself randomly while charging up sometimes. This is very noticeable to anybody who's played Nioh1/2 because quickdraw spamming on a downed enemy is a staple strategy. Here I can't do it reliably. I bet it has to do with the game trying to force you to grapple when you are too close, but fizzles.
>>559491501Still required to father children, so he was forced to have a wife and concubines anyway, kek. I'm assuming Team Ninja is either going to leave his sexuality ambiguous or let the player decide (latter is doubtful).
make this a team ninja general
>>559503570It still fits the /nig/ acronym. My ninjer.
>>559503570Likely going to lead to a ton of infighting
>>559503570Please don't invite the NG2 schizo pajeets into the thread
Nioh shouldn't have combos.
>>559503570Sorry but we don't associate ourselves with unwanted failures
>>559504068Just play Onimusha instead.
>>559505507Where's my nioh 3 refund then
Anyone that's been playingwith the splitstaff? Any tips, arts, etc?
I mean he is no musashi but iemitsu...
>>559509182We'll likely see Musashi and Jubei during the second DLC when Iemitsu's true test as a shogun begins, but until then, we'll probably be working for our son in the first one.
Go 99 CON or is a waste?
I wish we had more freedom in assigning martial arts to inputsWhat is even the reasoning behind the restrictiveness? I doubt it makes much of a difference balance wise, since the most "optimal" (and unfun) setups just barely make use of enough moves to max versatility..
>>559511401Don't you get versatility for switching weapons? That's how it worked in prev games but I can't tell in this game since buff icons are too small.
>>559511327Maxing a stat for damage appears to be optimal as of now, which one you pick is more preference than anything though. The returns just aren't that high for non damage gains.
>>559511521I dunno, since TN made me pick between versatility and onmyo in 3 I never bothered with it.Another unexplicable "balance" choice
>>559511521>>559511667what exactly is versatility? like im just kinda retarded and dont really understand what it means when I read the description but I always saw people talking about it during nioh's 2 lifespan
>>559511885It used to be a full set bonus for some graces in Nioh 2, now they make it a skill that you can pick up in a book and equip it.In Nioh 2 it gives you 1 stack per different active skill used. At full stacks you get +60% damage bonus, which is very good for Nioh 2 since damage stats are dogshit in general (Death Dancer is another similar stat that gives +70% damage, but requires you not to get hit).I don't know about the numbers in Nioh 3.Benzaiten grace in Nioh 3 provides some bonuses for Versatility, like allowing you to gain stack for dodging and reduced ki cost per stack.
>>559512051ok thx, now I see why a lot of people dont stop talking about it, kinda nuts for something you can just switch on in skills
>>559511327I think skill is the best attribute to max, unless you have something specific in mind to scale off constitution. But if you're primarily taking it for HP, putting 94 points spread into other attributes still raises your health while increasing other stats.
>>559511885What the other anon said is correct.People loved versatility in 2 because it was an extremely strong and reliable bonus that encouraged a very fun style of play, so it was damn near universal on high level builds.Now in it got gutted in strength by itself, it competes with awakening (that turns onmyo from unusable to very good), and the sets that empower it effectively replace the encouraged playstyle from variety centric to deflect centric.Very sad
>>559512552I'm not using Ninjutsu
come on men
>>559512826OK, it's still the best attribute for samurai
>>559512826Then it's still really good because it scales your arts proficiency damage.
>>559513113Equip the ninjutsu fire bombs, find the Hidetatsu's dying wish mission (2nd region), enter, find the cave with 3 slimes near entrance, bomb them. Repeat. 5 minutes to fulfill this.
>>559513228Wait wait wait... you are telling me Skill enhanced Weapon Skill damage?
>>559513239is ninja stuff even good in nioh 4
>>559513276It equally raises the damage bonuses to ninjutsu and arts proficiency
>>559513310Nioh 2? It's pretty good, but there's some technical depth to it.If you don't want to delve into the nitty gritty of it then just use the elemental feather spells as a form of damaging spell. Make sure to understand enemy weak resistances and to blast them at low ki for max effect.The 2 tricks with feathers are1. You can ki pulse cancel them to significantly reduce the animation speed, it's probably better to look up a youtube video if you are vaguely interested.2. Feathers are a good way to apply elemental status, which is a way to set up the Confusion status. You can melt bosses from 100 to 0 with some good understanding of confusion extension.
>>559513276bro...
>>559513276Anon...
>>559517089I didn't know either tbf
>>559513716game doesnt feel as hard as i remember it being been breezing through everything think i mite just 3kat
>>559518201Why did they make the Kodama and Sudama's asses so big?
>>559523368'Cos funny.
>odd: kill every boss in the game at least once without taking damage>evens: buy slay the spire 2 and play slop
>>559523368its why scrampus have a butthole
>>559523754Why are both options the same
>>559524041Nioh 3 isn't slop anon, it's culture of the highest order
>>559524110Cultureslop
When can we expect a balance patch?
>>559525372probably maintenance mode until DLC, what kind of balance you thinking of?
>>559515651>>559517089What? The games tells you shit
I will never understand people who want "balance"(as in, nerfs; no shade on people who want underperforming stuff brought up to par) in a PvE game with zero competitive interactions with other players. If some options are stronger than others and you don't like that, simply don't use those options? Again, this is only for people who want strong stuff made weaker.
>>559523754Slay the Spire 2 is infinitely more important than Nioh 3. Apologize right now.
>>559526249Strong things shouldn't be 300-500% better than the baseline, that makes the game boring and creates a negative experience where you're hurting yourself for using a move that you genuinely enjoy because it's too powerful and/or avoiding a move that you'd want to use but opt out of taking because it's too broken and ruins the challenge.
>>559527276i've yet to try it, but it seems popular and it's fairly cheap so i'll give it a go
>>559525372Looks like Nioh 2 got one in slightly under one month.
>>559526249You don't understand because you can't appreciate good videogame gameplay and game design. Both pvp and solo games need to be fun. Unbalanced, shitty and easy gameplay is NOT fun, difficulty is what gives meaning to games.So yes, broken clans need to be nerfed, enemies need to have higher aggression, they should buff the enemy number and amount of traps in levels, they should nerf Ninja, they should nerf deflect etc etcIt'll only be more fun with more balanced gameplay that forces people to play better and use everything the game has to offer instead of going through NG once on braindead Ninja mashing buttons and then call the game "mid" in the endIt's so wierd to me this belief that only PVP games need to be balanced, my eyes roll back into my skull every single time I see this argument (but at least it's not as bad as>"you le control the le button you le press"
>>559527276Slay the Spire 2 is infinitely more cancer than any other games in existence>Roguelike Card Game Deckbuilding Co-opHoly motherfucker throws "gacha" in there and you get gaming antichrist.
>>559527848>difficulty is what gives meaning to gamesI hate what Fromslop has done to the gaming community so fucking much
>>559527998Do you have a brain beyond buzzwords...?
>>559526219>doubling downthat makes you doubly dumb
>>559526219it's literally right there if you open the help menu on the level up screen
>>559527848It's strange that there are people here - baiting or not - who don't want a fun challenge from Nioh. Of all the games to advocate for dumbed down gameplay this should have been at the bottom of the list. It reminds me of the Silksong debates, at least they didn't have a publisher actively compromising their vision.
Buff odachi, nerf ki damage on tonfa and nin1kat, make nonboss oni harder, way harder. I've never been paralyzed by a karakasa umberella, and I've never seen the kid cyclopse become an adult. That shit's insane. I don't like nerfs but if you compare axe's base damge:ki usage to odachi's, that fucker might need to use more ki for its skills.Those are the big ones to me. I don't really care about ninja being braindead and ninjutsu being strong as fuck as much as I care that samurai has to balance ki pulsing stance dancing and now also fucking arts proficiency just to play and can still be dogshit.
I dont know, there are a million reasons why the game is easy, like >>559527848 listed half a dozen in a sentence, this isnt the devs slightly missing the markNerfing something or buffing something will make no real difference, unless the devs decide to straight up change the design direction with the DLCs or Nioh modding suddenly gains traction, that's the game
>>559531018My cope is TN will make DLC bosses that match the player powerlevel like in WoLong.
Favourite style + weapon and why?
>>559527998don't forget>early access
>>559532224samuraiodachii just think it looks cool :)i also really liked 1kat and 2kat in 2 but i havent really given either of them a real shot yet in 3
>>5595322241kat+2kat in both samurai and ninja mode. What can I say, I like the classics.
>>559494782I've never experienced anything like what he shows on the video, but I've often had the thing where you just won't use the elixir even when you see the icon glow when you press it.
I wonder if people getting dropped inputs are using fake frames.
crashing wave being on a dodge is awkward as hell
>>559533391I'm using fake frames and haven't noticed anything like that beyond items sometimes not getting used right after an animation which was also a thing in Nioh 1 & 2
>>559482230>>559482325retards.
>>559533391Nope. It's happening for everyone both on console and PC.
>>559527848dumbass.
>>559533974My "Right." was sarcastic.
>>559534307cope
>>559513228How good is Arts Proficency to waste 99 in skill? Do all weapons work or do you need fast combo ones like 2kat?
>>559534295"everyone"
>>559528317Fromsoft's soulslops are way easier games than the actually good games they used to do before, and Team Ninja/Tecmo themselves were making even harder games regularly and until very recently.Retard.
I'm running out of elixirs in Nioh1 this can't be happening
>>559535101The games themselves aren't hard, but their communities have convinced themselves that they are, and that something being hard is the ultimate proof that it is good. Git gud, scrub.
>>559532224Unexpectedly, the Axe and Kusarigama. the ki pulse + forward axe skill fully transforms the weapon for me. all weapons should have a skill like that. the kusarigama is better than tonfa at ki breaking and applying elements this time around. The crucible airborne skill is nice for closing the gap
>>559542436I haven't tried KUSOrigama at all beyond a little moveset fiddling, does it still have that poison spin from 2?
What build should I run if I just want to hit stuff with my pointy stickNo confusion or status effects or ninja faggotry just me and my sword
Anyone not done with Antiquity era? My save is softlocked unless I can join an expedition and get to the second shrine in Dark Roots
>>559542661poison spin? do you mean blade spin? It's no longer OP. Crimson Flurry is OP, the enemy AI cannot handle it>>559543719pick the biggest number and go. Letting people tell you how to play your game is gay
>>559543719Yeah, you should try the "hit things until they die" build. It's really simple, you just equip whichever pointy stick you prefer and then hit things until they die.
>>559532224Samurai by far, but weapons are a mixed bag for me. 1Kat does the job I guess.>>559535540Yeah that's the point, they aren't actually hard, team ninja's games meanwhile are actually hard, and that's why they're so fun. I was into harder games way before the whole soulsgame bullshit that robbed us of from's better series. Fuck soulslikes (except nioh)
>>559543719sticks that aren't pointy do more ki damage
>>559544480>poison spin? do you mean blade spin?No, I can't remember what it was called, but it had a move where you spun around like a top and the weight spun with you and was imbued with poison, would instantly proc poison on anything you hit with it
>made face tank build>take super reduced hp damage>take normal ki damage>can't face tank because ki broken by 2 hitsthis must be a bug
>>559545938Whirlwind? It is now imbued with wind.
>>559546528Far as I can tell the reduced damage doesn't work half the time either.
>>559499230Thank you. That makes sense. I also found that SotC Pierce Ultimate sometimes whiffs because it yakes me too far. The nomal distance is a bit easier to judge.Thanks for tip on Heavenly. All the different timings is pretty fun. Experimentation with them in the dojo last night showed it off a bit more than in more hectic combat.
I'm so fucking sad, shingen I is actually an amazing track. The kind that gets a million views on yt and comments getting nostalgic about it. But it's gonna be so criminally underrated
Why did they have to put the transmog/glamour station in the area with the absolute worst lighting
>>559526249I love wacky metas. But they highlight fundamental problems with the game systems. Like busted LW builds in Nioh 1 because the game was too slow.
you'd think the final boss would be full of B's and cheap shots but Hiruko (forma final) is probably the most fair boss in the game. I like him more than Otakemaru
>>559527848Two cents is that the big issue is that most people don't have a good perception of balance (mostly thinking of rapid nerf hammer/fun killing behavior), rather than the concept of keeping the options within the game at the intended level, as close as can be by mortal hands>Hardcore gamesHaving overpowered options becomes a problem if trying to focus towards your game being hard and victory feeling "earned", while you want the floor to be good the more important thing is the delta between the floor and the ceiling to be minimal.>Power fantasies/sandboxesThe most important thing here is the floor of power hitting the "good" benchmark even if there will be more powerful options by virtue of differing playstyles. Tonfas are great, Water Sword is great, Sword of Meditation is a big truck of damage, Sloth is broken, but I find these mostly less desirable than how I currently play even if worse performance (the only sloth I have is for my Lilac because of synergy).And the TN loot-based games are unique in wanting to be both types at the same time.>NGThis is where your fundamental skills are put to the test, the loot isn't impactful enough to overcome strong skill, don't have the resources to make busted interactions (sets haven't dropped yet or no Yasakani or lack of levels/exp/etc.).>NG+This is where it turns into a sandbox as the ARPG elements of the game, its loot system, high end magic/ninjitsu splashes, etc. all culminate in broken ass shit (barring bad implementation, Summoning Seals).>>559534734In theory all weapons work but it is definitely easier on some than others. How it works is that it stays as long as you do heavy attacks/martial arts (including frost moon trio of ki-pulse attacks, so you can use these to extend duration while changing stances), it works. You can try one light attack -> skill as needed but if you go two hits (or maybe even the 1 quick attack after a certain point) it'll drop the proficiency mode.
>>559555141they know well enough to put a lot of effort into big area bosses

>>559557524He's likely talking about Fuku's legs getting covered (vile choice) and the translation calling women "lord" (almost certainly just the translators being massively incompetent, since they translate every -dono to lord)
>>559557524Canonically gay MC>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokugawa_Iemitsu>From an early age Iemitsu practiced the shūdō tradition. However, in 1620, he had a falling out with his homosexual lover, Sakabe Gozaemon, a childhood friend and retainer, aged twenty-one, and murdered him as they shared a bathtub.>In 1629, the government banned the practice of kabuki due to samurai fighting over female performers, leading to the practice of wakashu kabuki, in which young boys performed the roles instead. This attracted the attention of Iemitsu,who showed interest in this wakashū kabuki, which reflected the contemporary samurai practice of shudō, (relationships between adult men and younger males) that were socially recognized in the Edo period. In 1652, one year after Iemitsu's death, wakashu kabuki was banned, also due to samurai fighting over the performers; Iemitsu's enjoyment of it helped to postpone its ban until after his death.

>>559558401Fuku is in her 40s in this game and has had three kids. Japanese men usually don't want to see the worn out skin of busted old hags like the west does.
>>559557524>How?Mostly all the hakama having their hip windows filled in (including Fuku's yeah) and photomode being disabled during hotsprings. I'm mostly exaggerating, because somebody got to go wild designing yokai like Ibaraki and bringing back Kasha with her full intro CG, but somebody else was clearly nitpicking and censoring whatever little shit they could.

finished NG, naked run. Spear and Tonfa.Started as a joke because I didnt want to engage with +0.3% Damage (untouched) bullshit and just ended up that way.I was surprisingly durable since I had a bunch of Health but like everyone knows, the game is just easy.Now that I can have real equipment sets, I'm going for a C agility run and actually learn how to play the game on NG+
>>559560348Even discounting his faggotry, unless it continued well into adolescenceI doubt he appreciated his good luck.

>>559560678Well, if my animes are a reliable source...
>>559556157It's better to have the camera as close as possible with an ultrawide resolution to check your flanks. At max camera distance, the visual effects and your character model tend to block the view of smaller/human sized enemies so it's harder to see what's happening in combat.
>>559563795who the fuck games on ultrawide lol
>>559563843People who really want you to know that they have an ultrawide
>>559563843I play in windowed because it runs poorly at 4k, so 2560x1080 on a 16:9 monitor is possible if you aren't in borderless.
>>559563795>At max camera distance, the visual effects and your character model tend to block the view of smaller/human sized enemiesThat happens at every distance though. Visual clarity is a fucking disaster in this game, all TN games are very bad in this regard but they outdid themselves for Nioh 3.Max distance is best because there are a lot of enemy attacks from above you and they'll just be offscreen till you get hit unless you max distance out.
>>559564358i am addicted to lightning familiars and they have killed me so many fucking times
Together, we are the Nioh three!
>>559564919basically takechiyo's teachers?
>>559564919You did NOT just say Niah with a hard oh
I love Splitstaff
>fuck with aerial moves around water>found outgoddamm it kek
>>559533661Yes. Because as soon as I dodge to use it, they stop blocking. >>559543719Stack reduced damage taken while attackingPut that on everything from your GS to your armorGet "Amrita on Strong Attack" and "Life gained from Amrita" on all ya shitGet A ToughnessSwing and not give a fuck about anythingAlso, for first playthrough, dont care about builds. Just equip the biggest number that keeps you below 70% weight.
>everyone complaining that tonfa is op and brainless>nobody complaining about the lack of gun tonfaTeam Ninja, give them back to me you fucking hacksDevastation without explosions looks stupid and the fire effect on crimson lotus just looks like mockery compared to Nioh 2 visuals
>>559566685I wouldn't give a shit either way if odachi was good. Actually even though tofa annihilate ki they kinda do shit damage so in a vacuum they aren't even that bad.tl;dr whatever the problems with 'OP' shit is or isn't, they need to fix all the underpowered and bugged shit first before they start nerfing anything.
jesus fuck odachifags cant shut the fuck up
>>559566685sir your gun tonfa explosion is baked into your Living Artifact comboplease to be using other moves sir do not devastate>people say tonfa is OPI find it far weaker and less fun than it used to be in 2 overall to the point it's gone from a favorite to one I don't want to bother with in 3. Despite several other Ninja-fied weapons feeling like they got much better flow in 3, Tonfa is the opposite and feels worse to use.Something about the input interpreter for Tonfa specifically is fucked because it doesn't cancel demon dance into pulverize properly half the time; it keeps giving me quick attack.
>>559568236Odachi is still good though. The stats are definitely undertuned, but not enough to undo the advantages its skills, range and hitbox provide.It sure does fucking annoy me that there are so many attack on hold strong while cuckoo's call is the literal only skill available for its input across all three stances, and yet only availabke for mid. Would it have killed them to put something more there?>>559569003>sir your gun tonfa explosion is baked into your Living Artifact comboYou mean I'm supposed to see what the fuck I'm doing during that wretched lightshow? I just mash.Also I do use other moves. Well, I use kicks instead of lotus anyway, devastation devastates ki bars.>I find it far weaker and less fun Obviously it's less fun with just the one stance instead of all three, but weaker? Its ki damage is still off the charts and once you put something in the red it's guaranteed stunlocked till the timer runs out or its down for a grapple.>Something about the input interpreter for Tonfa specifically is fuckedLmao absolutely wrong. The input interpreter is fucked for everything.Never had an issue with pulverize myself, but damn I keep getting guard attacks coming out basically randomly while I'm doing completely different inputs. Also missed inputs constantly, multiple presses read as holds, etcA total shitshow. No idea why it expresses so different for everyone though
>>559569797>Odachi is still good thoughNo, it isn't.
>>559569797>The input interpreter is fucked for everything.Also this. Cestus' Defensive Drop 2 doesn't work, Axe's Spinning Slide~[Heavy] Skill only works with Rumbling Earth, and you stil can't change wepaons from 2kat's sheathing/SotC startup animation.
>>559570112Defensive Drop 2 works.
Odachi is way fucking better than it was in 2>muh bolty boresilence, odachidiots
>>559570356Not for me. You're supposed tonbe able to hold heavy attack to drop back into it, but that absolutely doesn't happen no matter what I try.
>>559571230If you're gonna bait at least say something believable.
>>559533264It's all part of the same shit package, the elixir bug was in prev games but is ultra rare, now it happens constantly.
I get ready to finally start ng4's dlc and it crashes randomly..
>>559571282You have to hold it immediately after the second low strong attack input, otherwise you'll chain into either Kick Cycle or Archer's Impact. The timing is kind of annoying but it does work. It also needs to be set in low stance if it wasn't already.
>>559568402I'm gonna bitch about odachi every chance I get until they fix them or I stop playing.
>>559553741>bad lightning>need to leave to stand in the light>lighted place covers boots with water>cant see boots now>also constant annoying as fuck noises from shrine and cats>mute soundNow that it comes to mind, I mute this game a lot. Buying weapons from tea man? Mute because he has 1 voice line. Upgrading +level? Mute. She has 1 voice line. Standing in front of the shrines? Mute. Those Kodama noises (especially the lil flute boi) get very annoying after a while.
>>559555141>>559555837I agree with both of you. Using the various parries available during his first phase is always fun as fuck though. I love putting him on his ass with Bolting Boar or Punish the Proud or that 1kat "teleports behind you" slow mo fall one. I like all thr different elemental attacks too, especially his 2nd fight lightning mode. Very flashy and cool, and fair too. I always feel it is my fault when I get hit, unlike some bosses.
>>559572629>Most mature odachibab
Hiruko is fair but the goddamn 4 crucibles before him are the most bullshit things in the franchise on NG+. Which is funny because even in Nioh 1 they were smart enough to make gangbangs like these in optional contents (submissions), but here it's literally the mission you have to do to get to the next NG level.I guess on the bright side, there's no more Hydra fight.
Sincere Buddha math coming through because I am finally not broke again>Baseline: 466>102 Poison Resistance + 7pc: 550 (18% DMG, no poison onamori)>170 Poison Resistance + 7pc: 579 (24% DMG, with poison onamori)
>>559571396 >>559572629silence, odachinfantsyou don't deserve the odachiOdachi is fucking incredibleOdachi is mine nowgo back to your two-bit hodachi who lays down with yokai
>>559572757>muting my wife SenjiSeppuku NOW
>>559573392>AddendumBecause one dev on Nioh 3 hates fun, the Sanctity Talisman does not increase Poison Resistance in a way the buddha recognizes. Likely how it does that is instead of damage reduction, it's a prot talisman but for poison, the other element-stop talismans work the same way. But it doesn't actually increase Poison Resistance, the stat. Counterpoint this might be my first build that doesn't have a huge magic investment.
>>559556353same>>559557260>>559558301You know Team Ninja makes DoA right? Some kikes at Koei Tecmo are probably responsible for the weird shit in Nioh 3.
>>559560573Truth
>>559565424I can't tell you how many times I went to do an aerial art only to fly off into the abyss. Doesn't help that the NPCs ALWAYS try to get near ledges.
Odachi is so good in 3 I'm just gonna just say it's good and never post a single webm or video of anyone actually killing anything with it.
>>559575514I wouldn't say it's good but I killed plenty with it
>>559573095The first one, the one with Gozuki and Mezuki, is the most bullshit one of them all, I think I died like seven times to just random nonsense flying around
>>559575914They're the >you didn't build for bullshit aoe onmyo and ninjutsu? fuck you.
The only thing the odachi kills in Nioh 3 is my desire to play Nioh 3.
>>559573095>in NG+>to get to the next NG levelAnon...
I'm thinking I might be done until the DLC comes out. I really don't feel like grinding for gear.
>>559573095>>559575914Bros did you actually forgot the gauntlets in Nioh 2's Jurakudai? One of them literally had Mezuki+Gozuki.
>>559576094What is NG+1 the highest for now? It's so fucking over ...
>>559577563Extra NG+ cycles via DLC has always been a thing. Most notable thing is that our current NG+1 is closer to the other games NG+2 (1st dlc) so our next two DLCs might be more impactful (quick introducing ethereals and harsher scaling demanding better gear/skill optimizations).How does one cope with cool guardian skills not being good enough? Sam Murakumo, if the first lighting did just a tickle of damage it'd be a sick fucking skill that'd work for lightning and burst counter. Instead it's like every other guardian skill that doesn't involve your feet on the ground doing a one-off attack or Guhin.
>>559576327It wasn't actually the Mezuki+Gozuki combo I was complaining about, it was all the OTHER bullshit in that gauntlet
I'm glad burst break is one button, can't stand having to do it nioh2 way
>>559575514I only used it for the spin attack against annoying guarding human enemies
>>559578245You should try it against the flying ghost enemy with the katana, it's easy to keep it stunlocked till it dies.
>Whetstone/Glue triviaIt boosts the gear for BOTH forms, so whetstones can unlock 4 crucible arts at once.
>>559546528I must also suck cause i found dodging to work better with my charged heavy build
>>559578306>You should try it against the flying ghost enemy with the katana, it's easy to keep it stunlocked till it dies.I can see it, he's one very annoying grabby cunt
>>559578306Those are easily stunlocked by any long combo though, they have like zero poise
>>559578506This is true. Tested it a few weeks ago. Great tip anon.
anyone got nice ibaraki images/art? haha she's just rilly pretty :)
>>559584410>still no mod to give the MC her outfitwhat the fuck bros?
>>559584730Underboob too powerful
>>559584730ibaraki outfit is cool but I'd rather have some of her moveset available. I wish bosses had skills like nioh 2. I need more NEW weapon skills
>Actually putting Odaichi through the wingerHm...Definitely more on the "decent" end of the stick but I was able to get some first impressions on stress testing. Was able beat most of the shinsengumi (Okita brought out 2kat alt weapon) as well as Crucible Tour/Drawn to Yokai Incense Now for fighting the humans, I did try to limit my tools to get a baseline, I do have pocket cancer (poison mist) and pocket molasses (lightning beam) on ninja and for them I wanted a control+ group. The biggest thing I did was poke around using onmoraki (seals test, trivia the bird spawned under the floor in the yokai incense mission fighting Kasha the first summon...) and Tengen Kujuku (free elemental weapon).>Previous ExperienceTouched it on Nioh 1/2 for NG+2 as a dedicated tank alt, pretty good there.>Build7pc Buddha + 5pc KuzuryuHuge focus on ki with recovery speed and ki (60 heart + 42 intellect + ki recovery on all my armor) but otherwise Big Skill (99).>tl;drOn yokai? Fine as is, maybe tweak ki costs on Moonlit Snow Combo and some ki-DMG here and there of the upward variety. Performed really well against even some of the faster-ish types like Kasha and Hino-Emma even if by good fundamentals. Humans? Where the weapon's weaknesses can be felt and felt hard. It can do bullying but it definitely feels built on assumptions than on testing, and does so much slower than any other Sam weapon I've used. The issue isn't numbers but frame data and a dearth of versatility.(1/3)
>>559590323>>Issues>Moonlit Snow ComboThis is a fucking trap to make Astolfo from FGO proud. The damage and even ki damage is good, maybe even great, but the knockback on block means you can't actually pressure with it especially when the final hit WILL empty your ki so any attempts of a follow up get sucker punched.>Cuckoo Call (Fire)Nearly as bait as MSC but some of its sins are just part and parcel of the mixed bag on the elemental skills. Firstly you can't early cancel into this skill and while it can be solid, how you have to cancel really late into it makes it feel really ass to use. Secondly, while this is general for all odaichi elemental variations, the accumulation just isn't fucking there. It's pulling some fist nothing-burger ass numbers here and that's embarrassing on heavy hitting single strikes like Groundquake and Retrograde Flow.>Soaring FowlThe timing to get the early slam feels weird by being so early, also being in low stance really hurts things but it's a good skill to keep track of. The main kick to the balls is that if you go for the skill's downward slash, you don't get to Ki-pulse (no Ki, no ki-pulse attack, no nothing, fuck you that's why).>Skills (general)This needs more skills or the skills to be more flexible in their stances. I think the devs thought the stance changing aspect would be enough to keep odaichis thriving but with the other enders being way more accessible and the ki-pulse attacks? This is not anywhere close to the selling point this was in Nioh 2. Especially the ki-pulse attacks; faster, gets you ki back, and more flexibility (can use it after skills), you can feel this when trying to cancel from mid-stance quick as everything but the breeze has to wait until max ki-pulse instead of being any faster. Just in Switchglaive's shadow with how they don't have any of these issues.>Mystic ArtsThe ki-cost one is actually a really strong buff but hard to access because you'd want to be using better options.(2/3)
>>559590570>>StrategyMoonlit Snow Redux is your fucking bread and butter for human pressure, that with the ki-pulse attacks is your guard pressure without leaning into reduced costs via proficiency gauge on the continous attacks. Don't diss on Severing Spin/Soaring Fowl as a way to switch up your strings even if they're picky (strong ender vs quick ender). Also jump strong attacks are a nice way to proc amrita absorption and extend arts mode because its deceptively fast. Other than that, recognize you're playing a fair game focusing on good fundamentals (deflect, positioning, etc.) without breaking out magic/ninjitsu where buffs can help the weapon a lot (wind/elec puts em into a blender). Finally, Clarity is a solid option for ki-management, impenetrable sword felt too slow to comfortably use as extra winded punishment, and this won't slow your attack speed (and with moonlit snow, already zooming pretty well).>>Solutions>MSCRemove the pushblock, temper the final hit's ki cost so you can apply pressure a little after and it'll be perfect.>Skills (General)All the elemental variations should have way more accumulation, I get a lot of these suck for that but these having such low accumulation with the heavier hits is disgraceful (fucking weep at the model gentlemen in Wave Slash (Wind) on nin2kat). Afterwards odaichi (mid)'s first quick should be able to be canceled much faster into the other skills. Finally, just extend the availability on Twin Moons/Severing Blade/Soaring Fowl so that MSR isn't the main thing to be doing because the breezes/winds can't be it without heavy speed/ki-cost buffs.>Mystic ArtThe ki-reduction one should off of ki-pulse attacks and maybe free-up the other one to just be on attacking and guarding opponents (if wanting to make it more special than just flat Ki DMG, maybe sweeten the pot and let it have mid attacks go through guard again too).(3/3)
>>559591349what is this supposed to convey?
>>559591578that you can ki pulse soaring fowl and in arts grug mode...
Max item level in NG+ is still 150, right?
>>559592142160 crafted, and some of the more endgame areas can drop up to 170
>>559591578That apparently you can ki-pulse Soaring Fowl but only after an eon after you land (practically a full ass second after landing killing any potential pressure you had).>>559591629Just noting I did say the weapon was fine/great against yokai, wasn't amazing against Hino-Emma but still plenty usable and more likely chalk that up to skill issue (either on making use of my elec/poison debuffs or still not fully acclimated to her new tricks), Crucible Tour went fucking buttery smooth. The first one of three showcases more my issue that fighting humans is extremely limited because most of the skills can't work together like a well oiled machine (whether you just ground sweeper/swirling snow once you have the full axe build online, or try variable MSR + ki-pulse attack loops).>>559592142Can soul-match up to 160 while 161-170 are very rare drops. >+ levelsTechnically go up to +15 but the game is more balanced around +5 (I think this is where level sync hits you to) to +10 (+15 is extremely prohibitively expensive).
>>559526249people like you are why every game should have a button to skip the boss fight so you would ruin your own enjoyment by pressing it
>>559593687It already exists. Just summon 2 dudes and plenty of people use it.
>>559591230>>559591349both these moves are pointless garbage and i will moonlit snow with cum meter through all difficulties without even having to tryshit players will seethe but thats just their skill issue talking
>>559595243You literally won't do that because it costs 700 ki and if something farts in your direction while you're doing it you'll get winded and combo'd.
>>559596665can you readhe said during cum mode
>>559598236Okay.You literally won't do that because it costs 500 ki and if something farts in your direction while you're doing it you'll get winded and combo'd.
>>559578142Never had any issue with having to press circle as well, personally. Burst attacks are always well telegraphed.
What are the best effects to use in Reforge for Weapons and Armor?
>>559593581>practically a full ass second after landing killing any potential pressure you had).Delayed ki pulse is good for item cancels, actually. Just like feather cancels in nioh 2. Elevate your game
>>559599756Build dependent but some safe ones>>Weapon>Melee weaponsAttack Bonus (stat at 99) is the best damage boost you can get, maybe on par with the divine melee damage affix.>GunsAmrita Absorption on strong + recovery on amrita absorb + ki recovery, these work while its on your back.>Armor>HelmCan get 8% KI reduction costs, if on ninja can look at white fox mask for even more damage as your grace helmet of choice (2% or so at max magic, more than nothing)>GlovesCan get 8% Ki Reduction costs + DMG bonus on Amrita Absorption (1.1x DMG, multiplicative which makes it fucking amazing as it stacks with other dmg bonuses really well).The other affixes are mostly specific to your needs (want more DMG reduction, ki recovery or amrita/life on amrita) but something you should fit is DMG Reduced (Amrita Absorption) as that's 20% DMG reduction (multiplicative so .8 dmg becomes .64 dmg, not .6).>>559599894Also GS skill (1), though I can see it now I go from fowl into my bird clipping into the floor again because seals were definitely played with (2). Also couldn't you still do item cancels even if it had fast ki-pulse cancels, just now those two are the only options? I swear if after my shake, I go to test and the answer is Guhin... TN pls>1Which my build is running one of the few that has a good one for burst counters, baby Kusanagi. It is a flexible slot and I can see if something else can work while also having a better human matchup (holy mother of block pushback).>2I am trying to make it have very limited onmyo build to be unique among my other builds, only got 20 and its mostly on defense buffs (we shared the same 3 onmyo spells in prot/preservation/barrier), I technically let myself Hellspark at forth because I have no clue what for that slot, maybe Galeshot/Hellgust instead? Not an e-weapon one as I have ninja-splash Tengen for that and not having spirit force issues.
How the fuck you kill the two head giant fish retard? it's worse than a Plesioth.
Beginning my Unarmed run this morning. Jakatsu Baba was a fun fight. Her grab was a bit iffy, but other than that it was a good fight. I found that staying in Sam and deflecting seems to be the way to go. I swap to Ninja when I need a good dodge (like for the grab) and when I need to dispel pools, since on dodge dispel is all I have to do it right now. I have not found the 2 skills Fatal Fists and Three Wars Stance yet, one is in the next Crucible and the other is just a pickup in the Haunted Caves. I am deciding if I want to use physical Ninjutsu. Like Lightning Step, Earthen Wall, and Shadowself. I do not want to do damage with anything but unarmed fists and GS stuff.Does anyone remember where the fist buff talisman is? If I am remembering right, it comes from Cyclops soul core. Does anyone have any tips going forward?
The fucking game keeps freezing if I have framegen on, the screen is frozen but the game is still running and I can hear the sounds of whatever I do.
>>559590787Largely agree with the whole analysis, however if I were to suggest changes I'd just want two thing: move around inputs and bring back no pushback on mid attacks.I would particularly like to see every stance get a guard+quick in neutral and a guard+quick after quickNot like the moves aren't there already, just move some of the hold moves to guard+quick in neutral, switch charging bull to high guard+quick after quick and soaring fowl to midMy autism wants to see lightning groundquake, fire cuckoo's call and water retrograde flow all on the same input because elements.
Nioh 3 seems like it's got the potential for a day and night and a dynamic weather system judging by the Warring States period alone. If I was Team Ninja, I'd tie that to the difficulty as well. Make it so that enemies are stronger during the night and that certain weather conditions affects their placement around the map. Imagine a Nue showing up during stormy weather at night
>>559601965He has like 3 moves, he's pure deflect/evade bait.Also use ranged gs skills to preventively burst him, the timings are annoying
>>559599756most of the better options are drop-only for now, and there are none of those orange triangle weapons to add extra lines to items, so for weapons it's just basic bitch melee damage, melee ki damage, an element imbue, and then another more specific ki damage one. ideally you will want an item with a green (rare) perk for melee damage then put everything else on it. a green element imbue can be good, but it struggles without having the matching element status infliction on both your accessories and you can't reforge accessories yet either.for armor there are a ton of options, but you can't go wrong with defense and enough toughness to get to the best color (it's like poise in dark souls, i forget the number i think it's 230 or something?). i personally am a fan of speed up perks; 50% ki or less triggers all the time but is short duration, amrita gained is similar, and critical happens all the time in bossfights and lasts like 30 seconds, it's nice. and equipment drop rate, nothing saves more time than that.
>>559605130why would you ever use framegenturn that shit off
How fucked i am if i struggled against jakotsu baba?
>>559608149the only actually challenging bosses are at the very end of each mapno biggie if you get more practice
>>559608030Struggling to stay at 60fps with a 5800X3D and rtx4070 @ 1080p
>>559608437could be a driver or update issue, best you can do is cap the frame rate at 120 disable dynamic upscaling and set it to 67% upscaling, alternative use smooth motion from the nvidia app is like fake frame gen is worse but if in-game framgen is not working is your only option
>>559608149Not fucked at all. Nioh gets easier the more tools you have, so the start is always the hardest bit.Getting novice tier skills from the rift missions will make every weapon far better.
>>559608437Bullshit, i get that with 2060 laptop and I'm sure the cpu us hella weak
>>559608706It's working, sometimes it just freezes the screen.Guess I'll just have to play potato mode and forget 100% render resolution.
>>559608983Why would I bullshit how badly my PC runs the game?
>>559608437wtf
>>559608437turn on DLSS and turn off volumetric fog
>>559606517I could believing that being on their initial brainstorming but probably cut via technical limitations. It's already rough with their attempts of optimizing what gets loaded in, adding in dynamic weather/enemy spawns could have made it worse but that'd be really cool. I'd just love a night-time cherry blossom sparring area because they've always been beautiful in Nioh.>>559607740>Elemental ImbueFucking trap, trap, trappity trap trap. At best that is weapon specific and at worst Ninja exclusive because of the 24% accumulation skill and Hiruko's set. I have imbue lightning on Switchglaives (+23) and it barely can do lightning after long as fuck combos and I consider them on the better end of things (my sam cestus? really fucking tempted to replace it for crucible ki damage despite already having spent a million gold to raise them to +15, the imbue fire is that fucking bad). The way you're supposed to imbue weapons is talismans (or if wanting to focus on Sam gameplay with the build, have tengen kujuku on your ninja form and Elemental Roulette).>Other affixesIsn't there faster movement on evade/deflect? Alternatively I've had good use of spirit focus evade/deflect on spirit focus hungry builds.
>>559610260yea as i said element imbue doesn't really work that great but it technically is a damage boost that stacks with other damage perks
>>559609280something is wrong with your setuppeople with lower specs are getting better performance
>>559605130>>559608030>>559608437>>559608706>>559608983>>559609125>>559609280>>559609873>>559611289Should I put the FPS cap in-game, in drivers or in MSI Afterburner?
Does anyone else have the skill demonstration videos in the skill menus stutter abominably?The game itself runs pretty smooth, so it can't be a performance issue
>>559612371only when I've been playing the game for a long time
>>559612276do fps caps manually system-wide in your graphics card settings, then turn vsync and caps off in game
>>559612371Yeah they sometimes even rewind a little bit for me, as if they were having network lag
haha the performance patch is right around the corner right haha
>>559612371nope
>>559609280It has to be a config issue. My 7800X3D and 4070 hit 120 FPS without breaking a sweat.
>>559612547>caps off in gameDo you mean setting the in-game fps cap higher than the driver cap? Because it cannot be switched off completely
>>559612276cap the fps in-game dont listen to that other anon, katana engine needs to be cap all the time for it to not stuter, im thinking it may be a vram issue you could lower the textures and see if it still happening
>>559612709yeah that, that part probably doesn't matter but best to be safe
Alright I installed the freshest nvidia drivers with a clean install and now the game stays at 120fps @ 1080p>DLSS 80%>no framegen>slightly above standard graphics settingsGuess there was something wrong with my driver profiles or something
>>559614279many such cases
well 90 hours later i finally beat the game. all areas level 4 explored and all side quests done. overall pretty underwhelming and barely any improvement over nioh 2 besides being able to equip more weapons i guessi also have jailer oni fatigue now.
what's that? you want another jailer oni with a different element in the first dlc?
>>559616026yeahJailer Oni (Girl)
>>559616026Yeah and they should have immunity to their own element or make it a rock paper scissors thing
>>559616026Paralysis jailer oni that always animation cancels into a one-shot grab whenever you get paralysed.
>>559617260That is just old red kappa.
>>559617260this but it's a loli
>>559617348and nureonna
>>559617841nure-onna you could always dodge if you timed it right
>slop ass hideyori and nine tail fox on way of the samurai is harder and more of a stat check than way of the nioh bosses What absolute slop, whoever made this shit is a cunt ass faggot
>>559617912..you could? guess I was always just bad
>>559618020iirc it depends on the distance from the nure-onna, if it's point blank you are dead
>>559615965NG++++++ is when the real fun begins
>>559619242desu I wish this was a thing, imagine if stat numbers kept going up forever and they could randomly shuffle enemies around
>>559617595Fuck off, pedo.
>>559618217In 2 I could only manage to escape if I had needles on the quick items. In 3 I don't remember if they ever even managed to paralyze me.
>>559617348And we all know Team Ninja would never reuse any kind of asset
>>559606517>>559610260isnt nioh 3 in the same engine as RoTR? yeah they can but I bet a lot of things were cut mid development like the shinsengumi fights were turned into zombie fights because they could only afford to get 1 line from everyone that isnt okita
>>559601164>Also couldn't you still do item cancels even if it had fast ki-pulse cancelsyou could but timing was tighter so in the heat of combat I just went with easier options. In 3 I haven't been able to get out a summoning seal in time because of the animation. I've been able to get the summon attack going but I'm like 1 frame too short for the attack to actually come out
I'm 99% sure that Attack Bonus [Stat] doesn't work on weapons, and that Defense Bonus [Stat] actually makes you take more damage.
>>559621278>you only get Takasugi for the rebels, Saigo is an one eyed oni in a side quest. Sakamoto already died>only Okita is a proper boss fight, the rest are regular human enemies that can be bulliedBakumatsu is so underused, why even go there?>Yoshinobu is a puppet so it was all Hiruko he just wants to be a westaboo he dindu nuffinBakumatsu is so underused, why even go there?
Yasuda, I have 130 hours player but I NEED more content. September is half a year away
>>559621839Honestly makes me curious if the DLCs will try to expand on the main game areas a bit besides just giving them a higher difficulty
>>559621896It's over
i hate the new opportunist input so god damn much holy shit
I have so little motivation to go through NG+ and grind for 170 green gear....
>>559625524That's the Cestus parry right? What's wrong with it?
>>559625601t. Conquered
Did they fix the deflect extension skills for 2kat and cestus while fixing the deflect window itself?
>>559626110On NG+ is there anything other than additional boss drops that you can get in the open world? Can I get more warrior/samurai/ninja points to increase the cap at all? Anything? Or can I just speedrun through the bosses
>>559626110>>559626382Didn't meant to (You) but have another one anyway
>>559626382No new Samurai/Ninja locks in the field nor from Missions. Those are fixed across difficulties.NG+ Crucible Spikes and Lesser Crucibles will increase your Spirit Force further.Dark Realms and Bases will have enhanced enemies that improve drop rates of higher rank Soul Cores.Crucible Wraiths similarly will improve soul core drop rates, and there are also a few new Wraiths that don't appear on the map.
>>559621278>RoTRI hear that's the case but I also haven't played RoTR so my experience is very limited (one cancer WEBM and an early trailer).>>559626110Yes, most recent hotfix handled parry/deflect timings for fists/2kat.>does more odaichi testingSo far opinion is rising though I mostly did yokai testing (and for variety, some of the mid game, like Yoritomo/Kusanagi/Hiruko/etc.), and fully utilized my build (prot and pocket cancer ahoy). Going back to shinsengumi for a late game test.
>>559625601Playing the game ought to be ots own reward anon. If you don't want to, don't play.>170 gearYeah that does look pointless knowing that it's almost certainly going to be obsoleted by the dlc160 can't be that much of a step down
>>559625651NTA but the input itself is just annoying and half the time it doesn't go through
>>559628176Thanks, I'll keep a look out for those and skip most of the rest
>>559628206>Going back to shinsengumi for a late game test.The Dempsey Roll is king against all human enemies.Even Phase 2 Okita will have trouble landing hits while you get in a Ki-free nine hit Arts Proficient Sweeper.
>>559630229there is a weird quirk with groundsweeper vs a group of enemies that you can constantly soft swap by touching one of the movement or camera contrls (i forget which) which may be hit or miss
>>559630229I was focusing more on my build at peak power (doesn't lean hard into Ground Sweeper/Swirling Snow) instead of testing fundamentals. It went pretty smooth between slathering them in poison/lightning, even had a couple of confusion procs with tengen's ele-weapon. Okita was cutting a bit close and I was playing sloppy as hell but still got him on my 2nd try in the mission. If anything I might keelhaul the free seals aspect I have because Poison Gas is faster than the sickly cock, also opening up a seals slot for more valuable passives.
>>559628430Part of having no motivation is how much easier it feels this time around compared to the first time..Is it retarded if I just wait for a 100% save file to get uploaded that has gone through NG+ and then hold off till the DLC drops?
>>559628206>Yes, most recent hotfix handled parry/deflect timings for fists/2kat.The base ones, sure, but I was wondering if anyone has done any testing to check if the deflect extend skills work on them.
>>559630229That's a great looped webm
>>559631203>playing another man's save filemight as well become a stepfather irl
>>559632228>dissing on stepfathers For shame anon
>>559631203>Part of having no motivation is how much easier it feels this time around compared to the first time..It definitely was fucking retarded of TN to only update a few missions by default while most shit is unenhanced until you sand it up.At the very least they oughta have let us sand bases and crucibles before clearing them.Also I have no idea why, but in spite of having re-cleared half of the first map every single instance of base/crucible renewal happened to the same two locations. About two dozen instances, yet two locations.
Game's basically abandoned. The open field was a mistake. This is the end.
Incredible how nioh 3 has 51 songs and all of them suck ass
>>559634142The ones that don't suck are repeats from 2
>>559634109It's not live service, wait until the dlc for more content.
>>559630229
Which magic-scaling samurai weapon should i use?I'd like something that's good for applying ki-damage or good against blocking bosses.
>>559636184you can change scaling stats after you do the 2nd blacksmith quest so whatever you want
>>559636327Is that expensive or otherwise annoying to do or is it actually a viable option to apply to every new weapon i pick up as i play?
>>559636184If you need to ask this it doesn't matter.You won't have enough levels to make an impact before >>559636327 happens.
>>559592142170 max, it's a fucking pain in the ass to grind out though
>>559636542you do it to one weapon then soul match its level to your enhancement limit minus 15 or 20, wherever the cost starts scaling up exponentially
>>559636603Nice butt. Show front?
>>559634142I like the one in the cave, cause it's literally from Elden Ring
>>559636603Why are you covered in grease
Give me the QRD on what to level pls.
>>559637382why aren't you
>>559637365The one with the paralysis lady at the end?
>>559637106don't really have good frontal shots, but have this https://files.catbox.moe/uoc54z.jpg
>>559637471just google the stat softcapstl;dr 10 stat very good 20 stat good after that okey
>>559636761Once i'm higher level can i upgrade for cheaper again or do i just switch to a new weapon by then?
>>559637584the cost depends on your enhancement limit and scales up dramatically when you approach the limit. also applies to soul cores and GS levels. just go into the soul match screen and look at the enhancement cost in the bottom right, there will be a point where it gets way too fucking expensive, just dial it back a few levels from there.
>>559637584and yes it will be "cheaper" in a relative sense since high item level gear gives drastically more resources, money, etc than low level
also i would like to state for the record that item levels are gay and i hate them
>>559637520>>559636603>no BBW mod yet someone's gonna have to fix that
>>559637982https://www.nexusmods.com/nioh3/mods/102 not my cup of tea, but isn't this what yer looking for?

>>559638331Why skill so high?
>>559638432I know, and nobody wants to see that. I am bad at character creation.
>>559638703Arts Proficiency and Ninjutsu bonus are extremely good.And unlike most other stats which get diminishing returns after 20 and 40, the gain for each point of Skill is fairly linear all the way up to 99.
>>559638703Skill scales ninjutsu AND arts proficiency
>>559638079nani, i cant believe i missed this. although it's not big enough for me personally it'll do for now, thank you anon

>>559637520Thanks
Fucking Sword of Meditation won't drop, does it have restrictions, can it drop in the first crucible?
>>559642860just rng
>>559637486Yeah, although wouldn't surprise me if it's originallly from nioh/2
>>559642860Just cheat ni..oh
>>559637520Wgat a cutie
>>559642860I got it farming the ippon-datara patrolling by the second shrine in the first crucible
>>559643630This guy was nerfed right? Just started nioh2 and most mobs are twice as hard
>>559643808Nioh 2 ippon datara can be a real bitch if you don't have all your tools yet, sometimes they just steamroll you
>>559643808everything was nerfed
>>559643808damage is basically halved in nioh 3
>>559643808>This guy was nerfed right?More like powercrept. Blocking his attacks in 2 wrecked your ki bar, but now you can deflect
>>559644625>>559644405>>559644353Oh well, was really surprised that mezuki has killed me less times than most mobs
>>559631670I didn't extensively test them but it felt the same as other weapons that worked right.
>>559644929Yeah, enemies with slow predictable attacks are absolutely rekt by deflect.TN should have made adjustments rather than just copypasted old assets, like they did between 1 and 2.
>>559630229>>559631807some quality video editing
>>559632413lol cuck
>>559645224the slow and mighty swings always fucking wreck me completely, far easier to deflect on react than wait for the big swing. Can't even remember how many times Gozuki and Mezuki have pancaked me

>>559636184Switchglaive
>>559636603Absolutely not worth it. A single +value gives you more of a boost.
>>559645929I guess there might be individual variance.I find them easy to react to because they're not going to catch me mid-animation. I greed a lot, but not that badly lmao.
>>559637520>no pubes>no realistic sagSorry dude, you have bad taste
>>559646613there's problems with the model or some shit that prevent it from being saggy
>>559637982>>559638994you're subhuman and your "kind" ruined modding
>>559642860do the crucible titles and put 9 points into the drop rate for crucible wepsI got all but maybe 2-3 skills before hitting NG+
>double damage from everything>cuts all ki regen in Ninja by 90-100%>increase enemy aggression substantiallyi think that would be my top priority wishlist if I could mod the gamethings that would be cool>Yokai Realm forces you into living weapon. Obviously nerf the damage and make it interact with ki/health>overhaul the retarded loot system
>>559646123That one with the shamisen goes hard
>>559647745>everything>my 2900 defense -45% damage while attacking set routinely gets me two-shotYeah nah.
>>559648138I just got to Heian in NG+ and I've been wearing the same level 13 armor from the demo and I still don't even get one shot by grabsWhat in the actual fuck are you doing wrong
>>559646471i know it's not worth it, but i have farming autism, getting full 170 added longevity to the game for me>>559646613the pubes in the mod looked kinda shitty, i'm waiting for a nice little landing strip and black pubes, not those grey granny pubes that are in atm, and the sag mod made the tits look super weird, felt like they had the opposite effect from some angles
>>559648620Maybe it's weird multiplayer scaling I don't know.
>>559630229>>559635670Retirement arc has been great, Mashiba world title fight was great (even though the hiatuses made it take a FUCKING YEAR), Sendo v Ricardo is happening now and is peak.
>>559646354I wanna play switchglaive but idgi.It seems random whether i do one of its transformation attacks or a regular ki pulse stance change, making both the same input is annoying.
>>559648620>I've been wearing the same level 13 armor from the demo and I still don't even get one shot by grabsAre you still on unpatched game with todo cheese?
>>559648925i only read it once every 10 years so i dont have to sit through hiatuses i think i got another 2 years left
where's the best place to senpai weapon kills
>>559649202Grabs in general do way less damage than in 1 and 2 so it was kind of a loaded/bad example anyway.>>559649397Kek.Probably that room in A Sinister End.
>>559649329>Ippo wants to help Mashiba in his fight against the champion, a southpaw puerto rican super saiyan>learns to fight southpaw like the champion does, studies the tapes and his moves>spars Mashiba to show him how the champ would fight backTheir spar was great, the fight itself was a lot of fun, and led to some actual fucking advancement of the story and Ippo's relationships. The Sendo/Ricardo fight has been fire from the get go, even if we already know narratively how its going to end.
>>559649202I'm playing naked and monsters grabs dont one-shot me either. Strong bosses grabs sometimes do though.Regardless I find very hard to believe you get two-shot by anything with any sort of defense investment.
>>559648974Bugged inputs. Switchglaive switch attacks are known sufferers much like tonfa pulverize and a few others.
>>559649596Is this a known issue that they'll fix? I don't remember having this problem in 2.
>>559649593I'm not the user who gets two shot, I'm not having much trouble with defenses and I'm in ng+But I have lost more than half health from quite a few grabs, so it feels absolutely weird that I could have gone naked and still not have died.I guess it depends by what you mean by defense investment, I'm still just auto-equipping gear for b agility until I get a full set of what I'm looking for, so if your idea of "any sort" requires more than that I guess I'm not investing.
>>559649202nyope kakizaki or whatever and just gimping myself cause the game is too easyeither way the balancing sucks ass and I never had to go to these extremes with 2 so I'm just surprised that someone with a proper build/leveled armor is getting two shotfeels like Nioh 1 was the only game in the series that was balanced well for WoTS out the gate
>>559649963I sure hope they'll fix it, they certainly must have received a shitton of tickets from all the online discussions on the subject.Nioh 2 had the same issue to a far lesser degree, the only noticeable bugged inputs were the items, and even those were far less buggy than 3's controls.
>>559649474those have too much hp tho im thinkin its the first or second battle scroll
>>559650328Ah well i really hope people are complaining, that entire weapon just feels unusable rn.
>>559650125If you're looking for nioh 1 style balancing you're shit outta luck, they purposefully went away from it and nerfed both enemy damage and player damage in 2 already.
>>559650361For all the weapons that have two hidden skills I'm pretty sure I got them all from the first crucible. For the ones that have 3 I think I didn't see any of the thirds until the last crucible.
>>559650905i already got all the crucible skills i am tryin to finish my titles
>>559650905... hidden skills?
>>559650905I saw all three odachi skills drop from the first crucible on ng
>>559650974Oh.>>559651068Does odachi have 3? They're all so lame I can't even remeber. There's a polevault one and a falling one. There's a third?
>>559650974Farming just a few specific enemies is going to be really boring really fast. Just run through different battle scrolls and go around the open world killing and collecting crap. If you're dead set on doing the fastest way possible though it would probably be the 2nd crucible mission in NG since it has a good amount of enemies that you'll one shot.
>>559651232Third one's Dragon Horn (grapple that's more spirit focus)
>>559651232Only Cascading Wave is generally worthwhile
How do crucible skills work? Can i extract them off a weapon?
>>559651334Oh right.
>>559651539unlike nioh 1 and 2 the tutorials in this game are actually rather well written, just check em i;n amrita memories section
>>559651539>equip weapon with skill>max familiarity>always have skillthat's all
>>559651539>crucible weapon with skill drops>equip the weapon>the skill on it is auto equipped and can't be changed from your inputs>max weapon familiarity>you've now unlocked the skill to use with other weapons of the same type
>>559650974What are you specifically trying to do?
I'm curious if anyone was autistic enough to get the cloudrunner(gale sprint 50m steps) title.
>>559650974If you want kills you might want to try the room with the spinning tops circuit right before yoshinobu
>>559651824I really fucking wish you could disable gale sprint.
>>559651878they don't respawn
>>559651950I meant the weak corpses, there's like a dozen and it's close to a shrine.
>>559651645>>559651670Shiiiiitttt i wish i knew that before getting rid of them
>>559652131Easy enough to farm up new ones
>>559652047Oh the red ghost things? I actually find them to be way too tanky. They have a surprisingly large amount of health for being a mob type enemy.
>>559651635Must have skipped the tutorial on crucuble skills, i haven't learned any of them
>wow these last three bosses have been really hard and I'm stuck again! >my dumb ass had yellow load and it was making me run out of ki way too quicklyTook off the rock lee weights against bird brain.Also when do I get slut armors?
>>559654152Never. Slut armours are over.
>>559654152>Slut armorsIf talking about skin, idk. If talking about making your character have mommy milkies, mostly cloth chest armors do it (poor minamoto, used to be unique as both cloth mommy milkers and some armor when it was light armor in N2, being medium in N3 removed that but brother's vest/training vest are good spots to go for).>A Sinister End TriviaHimiko says she can't follow you after beating on Enenra/Onyroki because of the physical terrain but is able to follow you through a previous mandatory spirit vein (Wall running instead of grappling hook). Lol, lmao.
Himiko is hotter with the mask on
>>559654695When does Himiko wear a mask?
>>559648620What a gay and trans thing to lie about
Does the skill that extends thrust attack range/damage on spears still exist?
>>559655370Yes, it's a mystic art for spears
>>559655370>>559655438
>>559655370>>559655438>>559655684It's the only spear music art that's worth it, the other one just makes your ki pulse dodge/shove move an almost unnoticeable amount faster.
>>559654695Her eyes are unsettlingly large relative to her facial proportions
>>559657667she's very mid compared to other Nioh girls for sureeven Mumyo was significantly hotter
>>559655158>When does Himiko wear a mask?Part 2? There's only himikos
I need some optional item set/ passive skill that boost ninja melee damage but completely gut ninjitsu damage.Weapon swings feel so bad compared to what ninjitsu can do.
>>559482268>There is actually a healthy amount of enemy variety and no fighting gakis and jailers the most doesn't mean there isn't. Every game in existence has common enemies out the assNioh 1 doesn't have gakis, so that makes it the best entry in the series.
>>559659487When do ninjutsu get good? I'm about level 45 currently and they still feel kinda whatever.
>>559503570>make this a team ninja generalThread will get filled with Ninja Gaiden 2 spam. Fuck that.
>>559659760The exploding kunai, calamity ninjutsu and the big bomb are great. I honestly do not know when exactly they are unlocked since I went through NG as Samurai only.
>>559572629>I'm gonna bitch about odachi every chance I get until they fix them or I stop playing.Miss use Bolting Boar on yokai?
>tfw youtuber complains about reusing bosses from the other games when I wish they would have just brought everything back
>>559659760Once you hit expert/veteran pretty much (Heian and onward).>Good tools for generic useThundering Calamity is arguably the best ninjitsu you can get, biggest bomb is a ton of damage but requires setup (likely from this btw), this is quick instant lightning laser so its really, really easy to use. Glacial Calamity isn't too hard to make work but Thunderous is nigh riskless if you know positioning.Shrapnel Bomb is pretty good for ranged damage + fire accumulation, splash helps with the few times the game sends multiple enemies at you. Fire Shuriken is more efficient (hold more + faster charge) if okay with waiting for the explosion, I prefer shrapnel bombs in my NG playthrough.Shuriken/Kunai = safe ranged damage, mostly if you like playing more defensive because of how long it'll take to empty the ammo on these.>Mobbing power spikeNinjitsu Link is underpriced and fucking awesome if you're big into Skill, if I recall correctly this bastard is late game though. Ninjitsu kill refunds ninjitsu so your laser can just clear through trash mobs/finish off revenants cleanly.
>>559654152>Also when do I get slut armors?gotta mod the game, no slutmogs in-game cause TN are not based
>>559659972That too.
>>559659487There isn't a bonus that outright "lowers" ninjitsu damage but if wanting to focus on melee.>Last Ninja24-25% universal melee damage (front or back) if you get stealth on your titles/ranged weapon/accessory. Also comes with backstab damage, main hiccup is that its a 6 pc bonus so you can't get another set's 7 pc bonus. If not as optimized its still 20%+ DMG.>Kusarigama masterHeavy fucking ninja armor that is mostly melee damage focused but comes with some ninjitsu gauge charge to help them better accent it (Cicada Shell I hear is good), technically more than Last Ninja but only if hitting backstab. The big thing to note is that this is a 4 pc endeavor once you get the yasakani so it's perfect to pair with a 7 pc grace bonus (like Inari).>Himiko'sIt's more a QoL-esque set than something truly amazing but is a 4pc wonder like Kusarigama, just remember to have amrita on strong attack and it'll save you an affix on your gloves + comes with ki regen. The guardian spirit skill bonuses are nice cherries on top but you're taking it for the 10% DMG/Ki-Regen on amrita absorption (estimate on the ki-regen).>TriviaThere isn't a ninja dual sword set, huh.
>>559646740Quite the opposite, actually.
Changing Windows power settings from the control panel so that processor maximum processor state is 99% instead of 100% cut back my CPU temperatures about 15 celsius without changing anything in the game
Nioh 2. I read that you can reroll soul core bonus by giving them to a Sudama but when I try to do that I only get one of them crystals that give me about 1m amrita. Am I doing anything wrongly?
>>559664076'member when they said they were trying hard to make the game optimization better this time...
>>559663423Thanks, will look into these. Currently I am just running cookiecutter 7pc inari with Tengen.
>>559664697>worse engine >fewer character creation options>uglier graphics>runs hotter for poorer performanceIs there anything positive to say about this at all?
>>559664853Hey at least the gameplay is good unlike RotR
>>559665109There's a phrase called "damning with faint praise"
>>559664719Fair enough, that's likely the best melee thing you can do even if it's more melee/ninjutsu splash, alternatively you could look into Benzaiten's Art of Defense + Versatility (lets you play with a 6pc bonus as you don't really need the 7pc for Benzaiten). There's also the Hiruko set (Matchless Resentment) but I haven't gotten to the point of building into it properly (and likely plays into the inari style of ninjitsu/melee splash).The one piece of advice I can give if you want more variety in guardian spirit is Shadowclad with extended elemental weapon bonuses (either soul core, accessory, shami choro, etc.), they let you have direct control on your elemental weapon but last really short without the aforementioned buff.>Soul coreStatus affliction bucket and you can't have multiple of that on the same soul core (so you can't have it on a Tsurana-oona core to not need Fujiwara clan bonus if you're liking it). It is thankfully only an uncommon (yellow) affix but can still be a bit rare thanks to the wide range of affixes on soul cores.
>>559665283I don't really like Shadowclad for the short duration like you mentioned. I also feel like it is more beneficial to dump the ninjitsu together for confusion abuse instead of weaving them.
>finally unlock the fast onmyo mystic art in Nioh 2>it barely changes anything, wonder why the nerfed it so much from 1>only realize hours later that I just bought it but didn't activate it.......
>>559665683>Short durationFair enough, I have a build for both with tengen and with shadowclad (mostly done because I wanted to brute counter on ninja form).>dump for confusionMy experience is that's context dependent. For normal enemies sure but bosses you mostly need to temper it out to make the statuses exist due to dark realms (yokai have very quickly given me their abs once ki-broken even if I started with sharp things entering their ass).
Dark Roots is probably my favorite segment on the game
>>559664853Graphics are as ugly as previous games though
Why couldn't we get post-game crucible side quests so that way it wasn't just re-farming main story missions?
>>559666849DS1 dungeon vibes, the 2 stage boss fight was a pain
>>559667038because apparently twilight missions are bad?
>>559661195naw TN is Based since they want to keep players from experiencing AGP and beating up lewd yokais
>>559666849This game has some of the best levels TN has ever designed and they are wasted in the game where you have to trudge through dozens of hours of open world slop to get through them
Disappointed that the open field is so static. The Fields really need more random, dynamic stuff going on.
>>559668685I'm praying for random crucible invasions in NG++ in the DLCs
>third highest base attack hammer has higher base attack than the highest base attack odachi and a fraction of its ki usageYep, I'm still mad.
>>559668881The numbers on the weapons don't mean shit, every attack has a hidden multiplier on every attack anyway. Also pretty sure Hammers still have an HP damage penalty and ki damage increase. You want Axe for a comparison.That said, Hammer/Axe are overtuned to hell and back. Earthcarver doing like twice what ever other weapon do in a full combo is comically stupid, and if you want a heavy punish Tornado Edge can just disappear a boss' HP. Rumbling Earth is also insane on wake up.
>>559666016You know the green skills in the Samurai skill tree? Such as "give certain active skills a bonus based on strength" and whatever. I had 300 hours playtime before I learned that you need to equip those to skills in the "customize skills" menu. I thought they just applied to those "certain skills" on their own and didn't think too much about it.
>>559668685have you've been playing nightrein alot
>>559670326I've not played a Souls past Dark 1.
>>559670572based
>>559670572you ain't missing much
>>559668997>Also pretty sure Hammers still have an HP damage penalty and ki damage increase.100% confirmed like it was in Nioh 1 and 2
Anyone here able to teach me about the appeal of samurai 2kat?I am really just not feeling it.
>>559673618>the appeal of samurai 2kat?there is none
>>559673618In 2 at least, for me it was running ultimate strength and high toughness for ki pulse on block so that I could turn it into a iai machine. Not sure what I'll do with it in 3
>>559673618God of Wind 2 > Ultimate Sign of the Cross to delete kiWater Sword on winded enemies for fuckhuge damageStyle on humans with The Shrike or yokai with Earthly Flow
>>559673618You can flux during Winter Wind for free Ki, this alone makes 2kat fun.There are lots of good moves like that retarded Darth Maul spin, Wind God, Thunder God Thunder, Sakura Blossom, Iai slash.Also hold triangle to win.
>>559673618push a winded enemy into a corner and press water sword
>>559674868But like, half the ninja weapons can do that too.
>>559652620when you equip a crucible wepon there's a popup, you get get it when the weapon is max familiarity
>>559472163> Issen> Mechanical offense where you chain hits> Now it's a turtling toolSekiro can be played offensively, but trading the original style for a Sekiro-based combat is lame. OG Onimusha could be played lame, which was a problem especially in sequences that broke the enemies' AI. But the sequences also improved Issen. In OG, there was only one type of boss where you could block Issen (they call it deflect in the new game), the sequels not only expanded so you can block Issen everything that has a hitbox, but also have variations of the same system. All based on offensive playing. I really like how Nioh is KT doing their own thing despite the market.
>>559664346it's random what you get. often it will be another item of the same type and rarity, but it could be a common consumable. also you can talk to them and give them the matching item for a change at a whole bunch of consumables (e.g. i don't want anything healthy = booze)
>>559673618hp bar go to 0 when water sword
Thoughts on high-stance spear?Feels like it's just as spammable as in 2 so far.
>>559670572uh-huh, sure you did
>>559674268how do you do this blender with water sword?I want to be able to do this sort of thing, but it just pushes the enemies out of range all the time and also seems to just do pitiful damage.
does anyone recognize the armor he is wearing?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4l_BXGtGC4
Nkat or n2kat? Which one is better?
>>559682912>hobo robesbro...
>>559682912Demon Horde chest pieceLegs might be Samurai NobleCan't tell what the shoes are
>>559684102>demon horde chest piecebut shouldnt that have a horn on the shoulder?>>559683862i like the hobo look...
The skill that gives a bonus on style shift what's the activate condition? I spam style switch but I don't seem to get the buff. Does it matter I'm using the Nioh 2 style switch so the switch and the burst break are different
>>559682573it only works at certain angles, positioning is important. if you have them pushed against a wall, or better yet a corner it works all the time. you are basically playing tekken
>>559682912>>559683862https://nioh2.wiki.fextralife.com/Ashiya+Domanlooks like this guy's robes
>>559688361oh yeah that should be it, thx
>>559503929>>559659849Dare I ask?
>>559677913Yeah i think i never reached full familiarity before selling them, the last pop up i remember was from the first crucible telling me i cant use the ability so i just didn't equip them
>>559692280Ninja Gaiden 2: Black is considered the hardest game in the franchise, I'm assuming it will bring in some dickheads who like to brag all the time about how hardcore they are for beating it much like Dark Souls and Sekiro fanboys like to do in /v/'s Nioh threads.
>>559692280The loudest members of NG2's fanbase are weirdo arabs, spics and pajeets who regularly post retarded takes on X like how action games shouldn't have combos and how the original NG 2 is the best game ever made (even though it has combos but I guess it doesn't count or something) because 2-3 of its levels involve you fighting several waves of dozens of ninjas that throw bombs at you from off-screen every nanosecond.
>>559664346If I remember what happens is that you have to drop 2 soul cores, first one is what you want to reroll while the 2nd one is sacrifice to allow rerolling.
I think the fucked with some weapon hit stun and it feels unbelievably stupidIn nioh 2 against humans (including bosses) mid stance katana weak combo will always connect a minimum of 2 times before the enemy can react (block or dodge). Now it will not work, it's not a true combo and bosses can dodge out after the first hit half the time. This is so gay. Just port the numbers over.
>>559683575Ninja 2kat is pretty shit. It's very gimped numerically and deals among the lowest damage in the game. There's one skill (strong -> weak) that deals some damage, but also has pretty shit tracking for whatever reason. It also has water sword but you can't really "abuse" it like Samurai since there's no cum meter in Ninja mode and most likely it will cause enemies to face you, so no backstab damage.Ninja kat is very good, several attacks that put you behind enemies, kick slash is just tons of ki + hp damage.
>>559699047Samurai weapons are slowed down from Nioh 2
>>559673618Against humans just Windstorm -> Winter Wind repeat. It will guard break enemies.Against Yokai you need to nail God of Wind III, which is a very steady source of ki/hp damage.2kat got massively buffed since nioh 2 (where it was already a good weapon) since benefits a lot from the ability to cancel martial art into each other, notably after Winter Wind since the gap is practically air tight.It does have reasonable Frost Moon attacks, but Winter Wind's very low recovery and forward movement are still better.
>>559699234Nah, nin2kat is solid. It takes some getting used to however.
>>559699234Sam Water sword can't be really abused in cum mode because it fizzles out before it enters RAPE mode (a.k.a water sword 2)If you pair it with the ki consumption reduction per hit mystic art and ki consumption per stacked deflection mastery skill however... ...the enemy will move out of raping range because of the minor knockback because we can't have nice things
Who the fuck thought that making sam axe's thunderous crash aim ahead of wherever the character is facing rather than targeting a good idea? It's basically impossible to hit anything with it.
Does thoughness do anything in Nioh 3? The tooltips say that it makes you continue your attacks even if you're hit, but that feels like it depends only on the specific martial art you're using rather than any stat.
>>559703504you need tier 3 toughness to do anything i forget the number but it's like...240?
>>559704239Can't be 240, I'm at 243 in ninja and it says B same as samurai on 205.It doesn't do shit under A? Kinda silly imo.
>>559704681yeah it's kinda retarded, same as poise breakpoints in souls games, i mean it either interrupts the attack or it doesn't so it's not really something you can solve
Oh hey they got JJK Sukuna's voice actor for Ryomen Sukuna in 3, that's neat.
>>559667826free update before DLC1. trust the plan.
Considering optimizing soul cores for a build, few targets I want a crucible wraith farm, if anyone knows spawn locations in NG+ that'd be cool.>YamabikoNo blue and has Ki DMG (maybe 5% is a nice thing to top off the build)>NuppeppoHave one and want another, know of the headache mission but maybe there's a better spot?>Kyokotsu (the floating katana boys)Know of some locations but no crucible wraiths, melee DMG is good.>Tusara-oona (ice ubume)More to hope against hope in that you can stack affixes of the same bucket (if she can get both reduced speed + extended elemental weapon).>YashaAlready have a good one, might want another if wanting to maximize ki-efficiency.
>>559668997>Also pretty sure Hammers still have an HP damage penalty and ki damage increase. Pointless nitpick considering it still does more damage than odachi for less ki.
>>559681120I prefer mid stance heavy spam.
what the actual motherfucking fuck is that ren hayabusa fight in nioh 2? its the absolute fucking worst i have seen so far in this game holy shit
>>559720581See that instant jump slash? It oneshots in the depths :^)See those shurikens? They oneshot if you are below 70% hp :^))
>>559720581nyotengu is worse
>>559720581it's a metaphor for how NG mogs Nioh
>>559720670Whenever I see people say that attacks other than a few boss grabs one shot in the depths I wonder what kind of retarded AA agility no con no sta carnage&last gambit pill abusing build they use
>>559720670>they oneshot >if you are below 70% hpDo you know what oneshot means?
>>559722005there are a surprising number of people who don't
I have no idea how to play switchglaive well. Any tips?
I have co-oped every boss so far but Enenra and that Yoshitsune dude. I dont feel like tryharding video games anymore. Do I need to pick up Fortnite? That game sucks
>>559729804Assuming Nioh 3>Mystic ArtYou want to go to the style switching fast/early in the fight as the buff duration's pretty short, can make that part of your combo as high stance is pretty good against humans/poking horns. Intellect is secretly best dump stat for once you have the minimum magic/stamina and 99 Skill because buff duration is really good (15% or so at 40 points).>SkillsRemember you can combo-end with them, my favorite for humans is high stance into celestial retribution (crucible skill) but mid into the hold triangle skill/windswept is also solid.
>>559729804Ignore all of the stance switching nonsense and just spam its blatantly obvious strongest attacks.
>>559732365Fortnite is surprisingly fun honestly
>ng+ open world elements reset on their own>map marker for them is identical if they were never attempted on ng+ or renewed>don't know which ones I forgot and which I'm redoingTN why
>>559533391It's happening to me like constantly with cestuses, but those are all about chaining together combos.Happens a lot less when I use the 1kat or axe, but it still happens often enough that I feel it in just about every encounter beyond the odd lone gaki or crucible fly.I'm on ps5 btw.
>>559732365low testeat more meat
>>559738210Map icon settings, you can make it where the icons are based on whether you did it on NG or NG+.
>>559739686NTA but no shit? That's pretty cool
>>559533391Nope. Game runs silky smooth without it, still got dropped inputs.
>>559720581i keep forgetting how fucking good nioh 2 is.
>>559739686And they DON'T reset when the crucible/base respawns? Oh christ let it be so. I'll check out the map.
>>559740563nta i just checked it myself it does reset on respawn but it clears other stuff so it helps
The dlc in 2 is really bad. Yoshitsune’s level is a straight port from nioh 1, which is shocking considering this is a main mission not a sub mission, for about a third of it and his fight is better in 3. Making him completely immune to element is so on the nose retarded it’s laughable
>>559742751i really like how hard he is but normal element immunity is fuckin retarded
Just fought a big spider cow, are the eyes a weak spot? I swear I got like an instant stun on him by doing that forward dodge move with the fists where you run up the enemy and fall with a strike, but his horns weren't broken. Good fight. Only noticed the scaffolds after beating him, I'm assuming I was supposed to do drop attacks on him after breaking the legs once? Just fought the head, it was manageable.
>>559743684you're supposed to trick him into ramming the dam, there's a cheevo for it. other than that the horns and legs are a weak point
>>559744128Oh, cool. Will try on NG+
>>559715096It's not a nit pick since EVERYTHING now does more damage than Odachi for less ki
Let's make a game that focuses on lock onLet's add deflecting as a mandatory mechanicLet's make a boss that takes up the entire screenLet's make it tanky as hellLet's add peojectiles that the player needs to deflectLet's add random crystals that pops up to obscure the projectileLet's make the deflect indicator redLet's make the entire stage redWow that sounds perfect Murajackasd-sensei anything else?Oh yeah give it a second phaseThis boss no this game made my aneurysm worse than it already is. I can't believe this would be greenlit by anyoneI shouldn't have listened to anyone here recommending this crap game. This is torture
>>559744925Game developers used to understand that important shit should be visible.
>>559744925>he bought
>>559744925It was even harder at launch lol, almost every hit was a oneshot. Also not even the worst boss in the game, pic related.
>>559744176btw don't try to use otakemaru on him it used to shred it in like 3 seconds so it does like 90% less dmg to him
>>559745568I beat that retard in my first try.>>559745406I boughted a long time ago. Just decided to start it now after Nioh 3.>>559745039It's just like one of the things that makes this fight so irritating. Lu Bu was great but this is utter crap. At the 2nd hour of my attempt I had to stop because my vision was getting blurry and I can literally hear the veins in my temples throbbing.
>>559745568>>559746091Correction. Second try.
>>559744925I’ve been playing a lot of TN shit recently and I’m not sure they actually know how to make games. Like at some point you have to know not one single soul likes shit like this or osakabehime and daidara bocchi, it’s straight ass
>>559747352I think they have realised by now and there are no such bosses in 3
>>559747525Great just took them 3 games to realize that.Not sure about SoP I can't recall a boss that bad.
>>559747525my relief was immense when Nioh 3 Daidara Bocchi was a gimmick "boss" and not an actual fight. It sucked ass in 2
>>559744925After all these games with visual clarity issues only getting worse with each new one, I think it's safe to say TN designers effectively believe that making the player unable to see what the fuck is going on is a fair and legitimate way to add difficulty.
>>559747525I was expecting one of those spectacle gimmick fight when I saw Death Veil's health bar.
>>559750148The entire platform is the gimmick
>>559745568I gave up at that boss, my trusty axe/mallet just didn't cut. Even the npc gave up on me
>>559745701Don't think I have that one, I mostly used Ubume against him.
How do I respawn Hino Enma for the subjugator title?
>>559755368Do the haunting caves quest battle scroll from the shrine
>>559755495She isn't in that one though is she? That's the one that ends with a revenant fight.Unless I'm missing something here she only shows up in the follow up to the Tadakatsu quest and I can't find the thing that respawns her part of the quest.
>>559755792Wasnt she in the pleasure district battle scroll?
>>559755792>That's the one that ends with a revenant fight.The other Haunting Caves mission.
>>559756860I don't see that one in the battle scroll and I can't get it to trigger in the overworld or find the amrita that respawns it.>>559756584She is but the title specifically states that it has to be in the haunting caves. I might try it in that scroll anyway though.
>>559757043>I don't see that one in the battle scrollYou have to go through the sidequest steps in the field to re-unlock all of the scrolls in each difficulty. Talk to the guy who gives you the quest to add it.
>>559757253I coulda sworn did that already...but I'll try again. Thanks.
>>559755368drawn to yokai incense :)
>>559755368Well you seeeeeeeeeee
>already getting bored>dlc won't be out for a while stillAs much as I don't want to, I think I'm going to buy RotR when it's 25 dollars...
>>559759235I just want a balance patch at this point. Anything to spice up a playthrough.
Visual clarity got WORSE in nioh 3 with this new camera """feature""" where it flies in some random direction when you get near a wall. I've had it pan the OPPOSITE direction than the enemy I'm locked onto when I step back into a wall.Goddamn why is it so hard just to make Nioh 2 + 1.
>>559761008>Goddamn why is it so hard just to make Nioh 2 + 1People would've seethed, that's why everything got revamped, including the UI. When even the UI fundamentals changed, that's how you know they're trying hard to make a sequel seem different.
>>559761925but literally no one bought 3 anyway
Looking at my stats after beating the game...of all the things...
Is there a hidden mechanic where attacks randomly ignore blocking or what is going on here desu?
>>559670572Unfortunate, the series really starts with dark 2: electric boogaloo
haha this yokai looks funny. just seen him for the first time in the dlc i just started.
you didn't beat the game if you used living artifact or summons
>>559772256>refusing to use things the devs put in the game for you to use and enjoyYou disgust me.
>>559767847Looks like the game has dead angles of some kind from that webm. Never noticed any in 2.
If you didnt use both weapons in samurai and ninja while also using all three stances on both samurai weapons and using all three ninjitsu and all your ying yang slots while fighting the last boss you didnt beat the game.
If you beat the game you didn't beat the game.
>>559767847you're getting deadangled. happens all the time when you are at point blank range like you are here.
>>559773062>deadangledWhat does this mean in normal people language? Crappy hit/hurt boxes?
>>559777028it hits you before it hits your block hitbox causing you to be hit
>>559771283I hate these fucking babies so much
Gotta wait months for the DLC, I guess.I've never played a Ninja Gaiden, do I start with 4 or 2 Black?
>>559777454That's lame
>>559778329just stand further back
>>559778372>stand further backBut I gotta RTSD. Got no time for this baloney
>>559778441is this some reference i'm supposed to know? looks like a temu limp bizkit guy
>>559778507That is Alex Valle who got perfect parried by Daigo. He is the creator of RTSD aka Rush That Sh*t Down.
>>559778830oh lmaoi used to watch fighting games and all i remember is everyone knew this guy's name but he never did SHIT
>>559778920Well, I am out of it myself, too. It was Wong who got parried. So Valle actually didnt do anything, you are right. OK, back to Nioh 3, I miss the way soul cores worked in 2
>>559779148he also kinda sucked except for mvc2 and that one year of street fighter
>>559778830>Alex Valle who got perfect parried by Daigo.Retard.
>>559761925>People would've seethedAre the said people in the room with us?
>>559732365Fortnite is way harder than this game.
>>5597781872B
>>559767847>>559772652>>559773062isnt blocking 360?
>>559766040KEK
>>559780543Deflects are but not blocking I think
>>559780543It is. The Guarding hitsphere will orient you to block an attack from any direction.However, there is still a direction-based element involved. If the target is on one side of you but their attack's hitbox is behind you, it circumvents the guard. This is by design in some cases, like the Splitstaff's Wrapping Flail skill which extends and hits the opponent from behind, allowing you to get around a guard.
How can anyone enjoy the ninja weapons when they dumbed them down and removes everything fun about them?
Are Martial Arts melee? Is Grapple melee?
>>559781310Yeah if it tracked every hitbox mid active frames things like Dreadslayer wouldn't be as good.
>>559781548do you know what melee means?
>>559781986Well I know what the word means, but I'm asking if Melee% mods affect Martial Arts and grapples in the game logic
>>559782057they should but it can't hurt to test in the training dojo
>>559780543i think it's a hemisphere
some fag on plebbit says that the game works flawlessly on W11, has none of the stutters and slowdowns that you get normally on W10
>>559785375I'm on W11 and have no stutters and no slowdowns in spite of worse rigs than many people who complain about them.Input issues still there though, and the game is kinda unstable on launch and shutdown.
FUCK KAGETOKIHow do I safely beat this asshole with infinite ha and quick attacks?
>>559785534I'm on W10 Pro 22H2 and some zones are actually a fucking pain in the ass to play because of the slowdowns.FPS counter says it's running @ 60 but it's in slow motion
>>559785950>safelyEquip the cat and projectile on evade skills and take advantage of his extreme attack rate to make him suicide. Also poison.>not safe but fasterFacetank him with A toughness. Ignore his ki, ignore his attacks, just wear your best armor, use axe or odachi, and arts proficiency his ass with lifesteal to ensure you won't die.
>>559785375Works fine for me
>>559785375I'm on W10 and I get no stutter or slowdowns at all.>>559785973turn on dynamic fps retard, or lock to 60 in the game if that's all you can get.
>>559787295>dynamic fpsSad but true. Fake frames is how games function nowadays unless of course you got a 5190 or whatever that 128GB card is
>>559787446dynamic fps isn't framegen it's just an option that makes the game's speed independent from the framerate and really should be on by default. But yes framegen on nvidia at least is implemented correctly in this game so it's useful if you want 120fps.
>>559788119Why is tying speed to framerate even an option? Does it have less input lag if you manage to hit the target 100% of the time?
>>559788464No idea, maybe? only thing I noticed is that it takes a bit more gpu power for the same fps
>>559786451>evade skills and take advantage of his extreme attack rate to make him suicide. Also poison.Thanke, this worked. Just killed him spamming ninjutsu and dodging.
Bros what do you use to inflict confusion? Right now I'm using calamities mostly, but everything feels kinda low accumulation.Also why is everyone so enthused about the water calamity? Even when I point blank a boss with zero ki the damage it's at best equivalent to fire and wind, and much worse than lightning (but then lightning is just op).
>>559785950Fighting him with your own hatchets is hilarious.
>>559793871thunder calamity and big bomb
Does anyone else think Nioh would benefit massively from adding invasions?Games been out for all of 1 month, and it's already dead.Invasions would keep the game community alive and active for a much longer time.
>>559781548Yes. Melee in this game equals everything barring spells/ninjitsu (1)/seals(2). Easy way to confirm is to get healing on melee affix on your weapon and figure out what isn't healing you (note 2% won't notice really weak swings I think so try to get the 6% on crucible weapons).>1A few forms of conditional melee damage will benefit them according to the skills (the one that boosts air damage and Tachi Arts (full health enemies)).>2Functionally no way to buff seal damage beyond magic/gear/soul core level, can only increase them with debuffs or elemental damage boosts.
>>559793871>Why waterBecause it can have high HP burst damage if you point to the enemies' ass because shadow arts can get backstab damage. Also point blank it can one proc if multiple pellets land but can be risky.>AccumulationIf you have the skill points and are focusing on Ninja, Patience of the Gods (or maybe Rigor), the 24% accumulation is mandatory and even allows lightning to break checkpoints (will 1 proc twice meaning dark realm cleansing buffs isn't as scary).>PersonallyBIg Shrapnel Bomb (medium ones, not biggest one) enjoyer, fast and free to use, decent accumulation, solid damage, decently fast build up. Not too good after the first proc though unless you get back hits with it (good luck). Flame Breath/Poison Mist are also not shabby and seem easier in practice than one would think.
>>559793871>Also why is everyone so enthused about the water calamity?Single hit damage capped to the integer, therefore multi-hit.Prob not worth it for non optimizers. Then again what's even the competition for water?
>>559797364wind
>>559795115fuck nojust bring back twilight missions until we get the infinite final dungeon
>>559798593water is a better debuff iirc
>>559799157not when wind makes my odachi hilt bash delete half a full ki bar in 1 hit
>>559798593I meant what water element onmyo/ninjutsu is better than glacial calamity.The tier 1 versions both sucks, the onmyo tier 2 is the worst of all, and the bubble field is strong but unaimable and therefore unreliable.
>>559797364Also arguably best application tool?>HellstreamAh yes, the boss spell that can't hit a standing soldier. I fucking tried spamming the shit and I shoot less blanks.>Geyser ShotActually decent but kind of wants a big enemy.>SealsBakagani is good but harsh positioning requirements, especially with the 2-3 second delay because seals gotta seal their hopes and dreams in tartarus. The delay kills potential options like mermaid.>GSSuper Kusanagi (Ninja)'s not bad-bad but also not counter fast because that is the fate of all that go into the air.>>559798593Okay but what about confusion?
How do I get this flame? It seems to be on top of the house but I can't seem to find a way to get there
do enemy camps in ng+ do anything special like crucibles making guardian spirits stronger?
>>559805463See the obvious spirit vein that is locked?That is how you get there.
>>559805807Oh I see, I thought it only led me to that master. Thanks. Would have been useful if such progression locked items were also greyed out together with the veins.
>>559805463Climb from the side where the Master is.
I have beaten all difficulties in Nioh 2 and I still don't see the point in using low-stance ever.What am I missing?
>>559808053Variety is its own reward.Some decent moves are low stance only, and you might have more moves you wanna use than you have high/mid stance slots.Versatility is the best attack bonus in the game.
>>559808053high stance attack -> low stance dodge -> high stance attack, or something similaryou never have to engage with stances at all, but it's fun and opens up many options
LMAO, I'm doing the Death Veil run since I've hardly had any time to play and the lava in the third section of it damn near killed me after I stepped on a tiny piece of it.
>>559808053I usually slot the fast af skills in there. On some weapons low stance exclusive skills are good or interesting
>>559812058It probably gets most people the first time. Kinda hard to see and unexpected.
>>559772256One person's opinion.
>>559808053Depending on the weapon it can be used for faster attacks and put and element on them for application. Like low stance switchglaive putting an element on low stance shine breaker and changing ways with mystic dyad lets you apply elements really quickly since you get application with every hit, and splitstaff holds land 4 - 8 hits per attack.
>>559822025Splitstaff, not switchglaive. I am not a clever man.
>>559812058same desu
More lewd yokoais when?
I've finished the game with 10 samurai guardian spirits vs 11 ninja gsThere *HAS* to be an 11th sam gs, right?
>>559808053If you're really good at stance-changing you can use low-stance for more efficient dodging before going into mid/high-stance punishes (how I typically us it for Nioh 2).>Nioh 3With ki-pulse attacks/arts gauge/easier skill cancels I'm finding myself utilizing low-stance more (1kat/odaichi most notable in this regard because things like Night Rain and Severing Blade are pretty good).
You can tell me to git good all you want, fact is half the time I can't tell what the fuck is going on when fighting big enemies like itsumade, especially in the dark realm.This game's art direction is actively hostile to gameplay. Used to be that it was only an issue in a couple of particularly reddish levels (especially daidara bocchi's in 2), but in 3 it's every other boss and dark realm.
>>559826946Nu-TN obviouslly hates samurai mode.>>559828502Nah, you're not wrong. Sone ganes are just like that, and this happens to be one of them.
>>559826747this is what gamers deserve.
>>559826946Did you beat up Yoshitsune and steal his bird? The other bird, not the bird mommy.
>>559812058That shit looks totally different from lava you've encountered earlier in the game too, it's no wonder so many people step in it and instantly fry
>>559828502Yeah, the particle effect spam is fucking egregious, not at all helped by the bloody monochrome colour design
>>559835528I remember getting multiple versions of the bird from a yoshitsune boss fight sidequest, but I don't remember if it was from his "master" fight where the tengu proest boss was or from the boss gauntlet with ash ketchum and not!Yorimitsu
>>559812058Nah, no excuse, I never fell for it. It is clearly lava, why would I want to be anywhere near it? Fortnite is for you. Leave Nioh to the first try lava detectors
>>559837094Pssh, look at this Anon. Clearly he's afraid of lava. What's the matter, is the little ninja sissy afraid?I'm just fucking with you, Anon.At least Hiruko is dead now and I can move onto NG+. I'm hoping I can find a Yasakani sometime before fishboy.
>>559838078>YasakaniYikes, forgot about those. Let the autism commence
>doing the Bakumatsu missions for the first (second) time in NG+>Game drops seven Yasakani Magatama on me in rapid succession>Haven't gotten another one since
>>559841208Gotchu friend.
>>559472163Anybody play sop?
>>559846171I did awhile ago, what you need help with?
>>559576327That fight was easier than the Yatsu-no-kami path, Mezuki and Gozuki have pathetically low HP there
what they should do for Nioh 4 is remove common and uncommon drops entirely and just give extra money or the like instead. Focus on less, but more meaningful drops. Commons and Uncommons tend to be meaningless.
>>559849990Not sure how to progress and do builds after getting to the 3rd dlc/lufenia difficulty. Theres more affinities and relic gear now
>>559852660Fuck, I think what I did was farm the mission where you hunt a Cactuar punching way above my weight class to try and blitz through the many repeat playthroughs they might've intended. I was Gambler + Assassin/Ninja (can't remember which, the one that really incentivized back-attacks) I think. I know I got somewhat far into its abyss equivalent but it was the one game that filtered me at end game, it looks like a paradise of a sandbox but I drowned in a similar ocean. Was this before or after you get the level 200 Knight/Paladin set they give as a mission reward?
>>559852660Just look at affinity bonuses, summon blessings, mastery points, and stats, then think up a build. SoP easily had TN's best actual build making, far better than Nioh and Wo Long. I like to make sure each job is centered around one weapon type so I always have 400% affinity for that type so I can use all it's skills.
NG+ has been fun with nioh 3 since it's even easier than NG and so you can pretty much do whatever you want. But I have not yet reached The Wall, so...
>>559852660Start with "damage immune during Lightbringer" from Knight, "status immunity during Lightbringer" from Paladin on your fighting set and "infinite Lightbringer" from your buffer set. Look up what the classes combination you need for that.
>>559856568>since it's even easier than NGpls tell me this isn't true, game is already baby easy
>>559853546Yes lufenia difficulty is 2 dlcs after you get that set. I guess i need to farm more. They introduce a lot suddendly with dlc 2 and 3, relic gears, fusing and summon blessings>>559857479>>559855164Alright thanks goys And yeah making builds here is way better than nioh
>>559857723I personally thought it was much harder but I also update my gear like once a region in ng+ and was just using auto equip in ng
Just about at the end of the game. I've gotta say that this thing catfished the fuck out of me. I googled in act 1 to see how many acts there were and was gobsmacked at the idea of having 4 maps the size of warring states.It turned into a boss rush with hardly any content at all between deflect training from one boss to the next, and now I really don't give a shit anymore. What the fuck happened to the rest of the game?
>>559852113There doesn't need to be rarity and item levels at all, that's the thing, Diablo loot is awful. It's a badly designed system so they recognize this and make all sorts of filtering options instead of just designing a better system in the first place. What's the point of anything that's not purple on your first run? It just exists to be turned into resources so why not just have the enemy drop all those resources directly instead? They should remove both rarity levels and item levels and just keep one consistent upgrade level, that's all that's needed. The RNG based aspect of the game should be turned into it's own separate item that drops and goes into it's own inventory, there's no reason to attach RNG to the weapons/armor themselves. Basically they should do something like Bloodborne's blood gem system. The fun of build making is customizing all your gear and you don't need random weapon drops to achieve that. I still love Nioh and all of TN's modern action RPGs anyways but I still can't understand their obsession with doing equipment this way.
I am liking Benzaiten with Switchglaive for how easy it is to get stacks. Also the castration grapple is funny.
>>559863127>>559863127I think the thing is, despite its drawbacks, the Diablo loot system #just works.Diablo 2 is one of the most beloved games of all time and is STILL active because of this loot system, not despite it, so TN is just taking what works and using it as is, instead of trying to reinvent the wheel and flopping.At least in Nioh you can relatively easily mod to get everything you want in your gear.
>>559767847>>559780543blocking is definitely not 360 since the fishfaggot shoots down those blue slashes which hit you through block all the time
>>559856568>>559857723Try using odachi.
Does SoP even have character customization?
>>559874169Look, he is here to kill Chaos, not to look like a pretty princess.
>>559874169no, retard
new update?
>>559877263i'm not seeing any patch notes
>>5598773271.6 gig patch on steam rn
>>559874169You can transmog your gear and transform Jack into some other characters in the game including your party members, Astos and WoL (and Astos/WoL do weapon-specific soul bursts on enemies instead of Jack's regular ones and some of them actually look really cool)that's about all the customization you get

>>559879005shut the fuck up
Come home.
>>559879161The truth hurts.
do these devs not see the complaints about the game being too easy and already being forgotten by everyone since it's just like any other shitty open world game with nothing memorable?
>>559879181wait...what even is this
>>559879276Ninja Gaiden 4, an actual action game thankfully not made by TN
>>559879359>Ninja Gaiden 4>an actual action game:D
>>559879395https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEBbOhaGkZk&t=136sShow me a part that isn't an actual action game. Guess it doesn't have enough parries and stamina for you
>Apply update>Game doesn't launch anymore
>>559880234Same. It's now working after verifying the files. The patch also took weirdly long to install for me.
>>559880506I've restarted Steam, restarted my PC, verified three times, reinstalled the game, attempted to Launch the game 40+ times, and it's still not working.It's Niohver.
>>559879181>new wep for Ryu doesn't even have gleam movesInsane
>>559870309>the Diablo loot system #just worksLmao maybe for gacha addicts.
>>559879646But it has parries and what's essentially stamina (the blood weapon meter)
>Made changes so that the player can exchange Daidara Bocchi's Soul Core at the Merchant after completing the Myth Disaster at Lake Hamana.what the hell does this mean?
>Made it easier to use certain Martial Arts, including Switch Stance: Retribution, Switch Stance: Edge, and Switch Stance: Blade.so did they fix switchglaive?
Whoever was responsible for the white flames in the takeda crucible deserves a firing squad.Also what ranged weapons do you use? I feel like the hand cannon has no niche. Didn't like using it in the previous games either tb h.
>>559893892hand cannon is only really good for doing lots of ki damage
>>559890480it's supposed to unlock for purchase at the sudama in the rift after you finish that quest but i guess it wasn't
